Apparatus for producing induction currents in a pipe to heat the same comprising an axially extending collar adapted to removably surround the pipe, the collar including at least two arcuate frames hingedly connected in end to end circumferential relationship and having a pair of free ends adapted to be opened for placing the frames around the pipe, a plurality of electrically conducting wires carried upon the frames across the axial width thereof and extending circumferentially between the free ends, a connector assembly mounted at each free end, each connector assembly having a plurality of connectors, each connector of each assembly being connected to an end of a wire and being connected electrically to a connector of the other assembly when the frames are in closed position around the pipe, the wires on one axial half of the collar being connected to each other to form two interlaced bifilar windings; the wires at the other axial end of the collar being interconnected to form two interlaced bifilar windings arranged in end to end axial relationship with the bifilar windings of the first axial end of the collar thereby resulting in an overall quadrafilar winding for the collar, and a source of alternating electric potential connected to the windings to produce induction heating in the pipe.
