October Products of the Month - Catco Heaters & Insulation Snakes

These two cold weather products are a MUST HAVE before winter hits...


As everyone knows, winter hits hard on the Northern Plains, and most of the time it arrives when you don't want it to. One way to really be ready for this winter is to put better cold weather systems in place.


Introducing Catco Heaters & Insulation Snakes

Insulation Snakes are like sleeping bags for plumbing. They keep any shape or size of plumbing insulated in the harshest winter temperatures. And much like a sleeping bag, you can easily take them off anytime you want - just loosen the straps and pull them off... it's as simple as that.

Wellheads, freshwater systems, gas lines, motor valves, propane tanks, scrubber pots, gauges...you name it, we have a size to fit it. Even if you have some crazy object that you need insulated, we have custom options available to meet your needs.


While Insulation Snakes do a great job of RETAINING heat, our next product actually GENERATES heat.


Catco Heaters have been the tried-and-true oilfield heater for decades now, and they are so safe that they can even operate in places where open-flame/most electric heaters cannot!

Catco Heaters generate heat through a process called a catalytic reaction. When fuel gas (propane or natural gas) encounters a pre-heated catalyst bed, the catalytic reaction initiates, causing the heater to quickly heat up. In a nutshell, this means that a Catco Heater is safe for oilfield use, because there isn't an open flame (they are C1D1 hazardous rated).

Not only do Catco Heaters do a great job of heating up a fresh water building on a frosty February morning, they also provide a direct heating option for valves, regulators, and piping too! Thanks to their unique design, Catco's heated enclosure packages are easy to install and supply heat directly to problem areas on your location, keeping your process going all winter long.
