BT MEGATUBE, 500'

The BT MEGATUBE™, 500′ is a heavy duty, flexible heat tube that delivers a consistent and long lasting heat source to greenhouses, benches, and garden beds. This hose nozzle is constructed with versatile EPDM rubber that can withstand the rigors of gardening, as well as delivering high levels of heat output. Durable and flexible with a resistance to chemicals and sunlight, it is the right choice for growers who require stable, dependable heating.

Made from Durable EPDM Rubber

The MegaTube is constructed from EPDM rubber so users can be sure that it's durable.

• It’s UV-resistant, so it won’t degrade under the sun.
• It is chemical-resistant, so fertilizers and sprays will not harm it.
• With such features, the tube can be used for many years in greenhouses and outdoors.

Growers can depend on it year after year without fear of cracks, wear or heavy maintenance.

High Heat Output

The main advantage of the MegaTube™ is its ability to supply strong, uniform heat. It warms soil, benches, or beds at 0.4 BTU/hr/ft and assures an even temperature for faster, healthier plant growth.

The bigger diameter of the tube enables the hot water to transfer more quickly and limits resistance. This helps heating systems use less energy than traditional forced-air systems.

Applications

The MegaTube™ offers a variety of uses and is ideal for growers who require flexibility and ease in all stages of their growing.

• Bench Heating: Ideal for heating seedtrays and propagating benches.
• Ground and Bed Heating: Keeps soil at the right temperature for plant roots.
• Frost Protection: Protecting plants from damage during cold nights or early spring.
• Multi-Zone Systems: Versatile configuration of upper and lower floor arrangement.

With that versatility, growers can use one product for multiple heating requirements; hence, a time and money saver.

Ideal Use

• Bench Heating: Position underneath propagation benches or planting tables to provide consistent bottom heat.
• Ground & Bed Heating: Place it on greenhouse floors or under growth beds where you want to keep the soil warm in cooler areas or early season applications.
• Multi-Zone Systems: Its bendable design has custom routing, which allows it to be placed wherever heat is needed for growers to customize roof zones on propagation benches, seed trays and growing benches.
• Frost Protection & Snow Melt: In areas prone to cold temperatures, the consistent heating of MegaTube™ is ideal for preventing frost and snow from accumulating on crops susceptible to cold damage.

Pros and Cons

The BT MEGATUBE™, 500′ has a lot of advantages that make it one of the best fits for growers and certainly one of the best to consider.

Pros

• Flexible Design: Can be bent around the corner and into a certain shape.
• Strong and Reliable: Handles up to 50 psi pressure and temperatures up to 250°F.
• Energy Efficient: Compatible hot-water heating systems are typically more energy efficient than central heating, saving 20-30% on heating costs.
• Versatile Applications: Can be used for seedling bench, soil warming, frost protection, and multi-zone heating.

Cons

• Requires a Full System: Lack of pumps, hot-water source, and connectors to function — the user can’t just turn it on and go.
• Installation Effort: While flexible, it still requires careful setup and planning for best results.

Summary

The BT MEGATUBE™, 500′ is not just a heating tube but a dependable product for growers that want durable, consistent and efficient heating. Whether used under a bench, across a garden bed, or in conjunction with frost protection, it provides consistent warmth with long-lasting results.

Durable, flexible, and providing one of the top heat outputs available, the MegaTube would be a wise addition for any grower looking to optimize their heating system and protect their yield.
