Heating Wire for Heated Fluid Transfer Systems: Designing Reliable Heat Into the Line
Heat, Engineered into the Line
Custom wire & cable · Naples, Florida · Since 1969
For more than fifty years, engineers have brought us the places standard wire can’t survive: extreme heat, cryogenic cold, tight spaces, constant flexing. We design and build the wire that does.

Engineer it
Resistance, sensing, shielding, weight, flex life, temperature. Tell us what the wire has to survive, and our engineers design the construction, prototype it and take it to production.

Anatomy of a custom wire
Most wire failures trace back to one wrong choice of alloy, gauge, insulation or jacket. We make those choices with you, and test the result in our own lab.
Conductor · Alloy
Nichrome, copper, nickel and thermocouple alloys, matched to resistance, conductivity or EMF.
Stranding · 1 / 7 / 19
Solid for stability, stranded for flex life, fine gauge for tight spaces.
Insulation · PTFE
Fluoropolymers, polyimide, silicone and fiberglass, rated to the environment.
Braid · Fiberglass
Braids and shields against abrasion, handling and EMI.
Jacket · Silicone
Jackets and multi-conductor constructions that route as one cable.
What we make
Pick a family to see how it’s built. Our engineers take it from there.
01 · Resistance & heating
Precise ohms per foot for heaters, de-icing, medical and industrial heat, in bare, stranded, ribbon and insulated constructions.
02 · Temperature sensing
Accurate measurement from cryogenic cold to extreme heat, with ANSI colour-coded insulation and matched pairs.
03 · Built to order
Multi-conductor, shielded, fine-gauge and hybrid constructions, built to your print or to no print at all.
Industries
How we work
Step 1 / 4
Tell us the environment, the constraints and the performance you need. A drawing helps; it isn’t required.
Step 2 / 4
Our engineers specify alloy, gauge, stranding, insulation and jacket, and explain the trade-offs.
Step 3 / 4
Short runs prove the design before you commit, tested and documented.
Step 4 / 4
Scaled manufacturing with the same people and the same data behind every spool.
Employee-owned
Pelican Wire is 100% employee-owned. The people who draw, insulate, test and ship your wire own the company, so every spool carries someone’s name.
We don’t sell pre-made solutions. We’re a custom wire shop with no standard print, and that’s how we like it.
