QuickConnector
The Thermal-Flex QuickConnector was designed for use with our switch heating systems. The QuickConnector provides an alternative to time consuming field terminations when it is necessary to change out system components.
The QuickConnector features solid brass contacts which are overmolded with a thermoplastic, heat resistant, insulated rubber compound. The cam action connector ensures positive locking of the mating connector halves. A large, raised alignment dot aids in mating the male and female halves and provides a visual indication of proper mating. The ergonomic design conforms to the user’s hand making it easy to connect and disconnect, even when wearing gloves.

LCD-1 Snow Switch
The LCD-1 Snow Switch is an energy saving alternative to thermostat, manual or timer controls. Its low price ideally suits the LCD-1 for cost sensitive residential and commercial snow melting applications.
Unlike thermostats, the LCD-1 Snow Switch operates heaters when precipitation occurs at temperatures below 38° F (3.3° C) and remains closed for a 5 hour hold-on time after precipitation stops to ensure complete ice/snow melting. This saves substantial energy compared to other control techniques.
The LCD-1 Snow Switch operates from 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz. An integral relay rated for 120/240 VAC, 16 amp loads permits direct heater control for small applications such as wheelchair ramps and stairways or may operate external contactors in large installations.
Extensive quality control, high grade components and microprocessor technology contribute to trouble-free operation. These innovative field proven products provide reliable automatic control in thousands of installations.
Features and Benefits
- Low Cost
- Reliable Automatic Control
- UL Listed/CSA Certified
- Simple Installation
- Field Proven in Thousands of Installations
- Minimum Snow Melting Costs
- No Supervision Required
