Backflow Prevention Enclosure Heater Installation Hot Box Heater, Safe-T-Cover

At Xtreme Heaters, we’ve built our 20 year reputation on keeping boats and RVs safe from freeze damage through the harshest winters. Now, we’re excited to bring that same reliable freeze protection to the industrial world with our new line of industrial enclosure heaters, designed specifically for enclosures and cabinets. These rugged, efficient heaters are perfect for a wide range of industrial applications, from backflow prevention valve enclosures like hot box to weather station cabinets. Let’s explore how these new models can protect your equipment and keep operations running smoothly, no matter how cold it gets.

Backflow Enclosure with Heater Installed ASSE-1060

Backflow Prevention Valve Enclosures: Defending Against Freezing Pipes

Backflow preventers—also known as backflow prevention valve enclosures—are critical for keeping water systems safe by stopping reverse flow. But in cold climates, these outdoor enclosures are vulnerable to freezing, which can damage valves and disrupt water supply. Our new industrial heaters are a game-changer here. Compact yet powerful, they maintain a stable temperature inside the cabinet, preventing costly freeze-ups and ensuring your backflow preventer stays operational all winter long. Plus, these heaters are IP68 rated, meaning they’re fully dust-tight and can withstand  submersion in water—perfect for the damp, exposed conditions backflow enclosures often face. They also meet the ASSE 1060 industry standard for heating devices in Class 1 enclosures, ensuring top-tier performance and compliance with rigorous safety and reliability requirements. With Xtreme Heaters, you can trust that your water system’s first line of defense won’t crack under pressure keep your box hot.

Fire Suppression Enclosure Heater for Freeze Protection ASSE 1060-compliant Hot Box Heater

Fire Suppression Valve Enclosures: Reliable Freeze Protection for Safety Systems


Fire suppression systems are non-negotiable for safety, and their valve enclosures need to function flawlessly—especially in freezing conditions. Whether it’s a sprinkler system or a specialized suppression setup, cold weather can cause valves to seize or pipes to burst. Our industrial heaters step in to keep these cabinets warm, safeguarding the equipment that protects your facility. By maintaining a consistent temperature, Xtreme Heaters ensure that your fire suppression system is always ready to spring into action when it’s needed most.

Industrial Air Compressor Enclosures: Boosting Performance in the Cold


Industrial air compressors are workhorses, often housed in outdoor enclosures to save space or reduce noise. But when temperatures drop, cold air can lead to condensation, frozen lines, or sluggish performance. That’s where our industrial heaters shine. Designed to regulate temperature inside these cabinets, they prevent moisture buildup and keep compressors running at peak efficiency. Whether you’re powering tools or heavy machinery, Xtreme Heaters help ensure your air compressor enclosure stays warm and your workflow stays uninterrupted.

Railroad Switching Equipment Cabinets: Keeping Tracks on Track


Railroad switching equipment cabinets are the unsung heroes of rail networks, housing the controls that keep trains moving safely. Exposed to the elements, these enclosures face brutal winter conditions that can compromise sensitive electronics and mechanical components. Our industrial heaters are built to tackle this challenge head-on. By delivering steady, reliable heat, they protect switches, relays, and wiring from freezing, reducing downtime and maintenance headaches. With Xtreme Heaters, your railroad cabinets stay warm, and your operations stay on schedule.

Electrical Control Panel Enclosures: Power Through the Cold


Outdoor electrical control panels—common at manufacturing plants, utility sites, or renewable energy installations—house sensitive electronics that manage power and automation. Cold weather can lead to condensation or component failure, threatening reliability. Xtreme Heaters keep these cabinets warm and dry, protecting wiring, circuit breakers, and controllers from frost. With their IP68 rating, they’re built to handle even the toughest conditions, ensuring your electrical systems stay online all winter.

Telecommunications Enclosures: Staying Connected in Any Weather


Telecom cabinets, like those for cell towers or fiber optic networks, contain critical equipment such as routers and battery backups, often in remote outdoor locations. Freezing temperatures can disrupt connectivity or degrade batteries. Our compact, powerful heaters maintain a stable environment inside these enclosures, keeping telecom systems humming through the coldest months. Reliable warmth means reliable communication—no matter where your cabinets are located.

Pump House Enclosures: Flowing Strong All Winter


Pump houses or enclosures for water, wastewater, or irrigation pumps are vital in many industries, but they’re prone to freezing pipes and motor failures in cold climates. Xtreme Heaters, with their submersible-ready IP68 rating, thrive in these humid or splash-prone spaces. By preventing freeze-ups, they keep pumps operational, saving you from downtime and costly repairs when the mercury drops.

Traffic Signal Control Cabinets: Safety Meets Reliability


Traffic signal controllers, tucked into roadside cabinets, keep intersections running smoothly. But icy winters can disrupt electronics or seize mechanical parts, endangering drivers. Our industrial heaters deliver consistent warmth to these enclosures, ensuring lights and sensors stay functional through snowstorms and freezes. With Xtreme Heaters, your traffic systems remain a beacon of safety in any weather.

Weather Station Enclosures: Precision in the Cold


Weather stations, often in remote or extreme environments, rely on enclosures to protect sensors and data loggers that track climate conditions. Freezing temperatures can skew readings or damage equipment. Xtreme Heaters keep these cabinets at a steady temperature, ensuring accurate data collection even in the harshest winters—perfect for research sites or high-altitude installations.
