Superior Improvements
The Watlow FIREBAR® heater greatly improves upon traditional round tubular heating elements. FIREBAR® heating elements provide added heating performance over standard round tubular heating elements, especially for immersion applications in petroleum-based liquids requiring high kilowatts.
FIREBAR® operates at a higher watt density without changing the sheath temperatures and can heat fluids from ambient temperatures much faster. It also allows you to place more wattage into applications at the same watt density without using a longer heating element. Its large flat surface areas enables it to operate at lower coil and sheath temperatuers which allows for longer life.

FIREBAR® Features & Benefits
Nichrome Resistance Wire
Precisely wound to provide required application heat. Magnesium Oxide Insulation Compacted around coils for optimum thermal conductance and dielectric strengths. Welded Wire-to-Pin Connections 360° fusion weld used to insure electrical integrity. Sheath Material Incoloy and 304 stainless steel are available. Incoloy maximum sheath temperature is 1400°F (760°C). 304 stainless steel maximum temperatures is 1200°F (650°C). Lead Wire Termination Ranging from 194°F to 482°F (90°C to 250°C) construction. Standard lavacone seal protects against moisture and contaminants and provides superior dielectric strength for operations up to and including 480VAC. Silicone rubber or epoxy resin seals are available and recommended for oil and water heating applications. |
