Product Overview
BriskHeat BS0102080 Heating Tape 1 x 8 ft – Unused, New Old Stock
The BriskHeat BS0102080 is a silicone rubber heating tape engineered for direct-contact heating across flat, curved, or irregular surfaces.
BriskHeat’s XtremeFLEX series has long been known for its flexible construction and reliable heat delivery, and this model carries that lineage forward with a fiberglass-knitted element sealed inside a silicone rubber sheath built for demanding industrial work.
Product Condition
Unused, new old stock. The tape has been kept in storage and shows only minor signs of handling. Leads and sheath remain intact, with no indications of prior installation.
Product Overview
This 1 inch by 8 foot heating tape operates at 240 volts with a 418 watt output, offering a compact format for distributed, uniform surface heating. The silicone rubber outer layer provides resistance to moisture, chemicals, and environmental exposure. BriskHeat designs this series for applications where fast thermal response and tight temperature control matter. An external controller is required to safely regulate heat during operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tape require a temperature controller?
Yes. BriskHeat specifies that an external controller is required to prevent overheating and maintain safe operation.
What makes the BS0102080 different from other sizes?
Its 1 inch width, 8 foot length, 240V rating, and 418W output provide a balance between coverage area and concentrated heating, suitable for pipes, glassware, and small equipment.
Is the tape suitable for outdoor or damp environments?
The silicone rubber sheath and proper installation can achieve IP66 protection, giving resistance to dust and water exposure.
Can it be wrapped tightly around small-diameter piping?
Yes. The minimum bend radius is 0.25 inch, allowing routing around small curves and equipment features.
Are the leads compatible with standard industrial wiring?
The 2 foot leads are typically supplied as bare wires or crimped ferrules, making them easy to integrate into common 240V wiring practices.
What surfaces is it safe to heat?
The tape is designed for metals, glass, and compatible polymers and should be used with an appropriate controller to keep temperatures within material limits.
The XtremeFLEX line has warmed countless pipes, vessels, and lab setups over the years, and this NOS example continues that tradition with its durability and compact power. Once it’s wired into your system, the next stage of its work begins in your hands.
