Review on Pre-Assembled 6Ft Self-Regulating Pipe Heating Cable - 120V By HEATIT For Efficient Winter Protection by Gerard Hudson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unlike other brands, this can be criss crossed or doubled up.

I live in an RV full time, and I like water when I want it in the RV. This heat wrap is fantastic it kept the water hose I have from freezing several times, it got to -5° for 3 days and stayed below freezing for 5 days and it worked. I have a flexzilla water hose with one strand of heat it and then put on swimming noodles and wrapped it up in one inch plumbing and electrical tape. NOW A WORD OF CAUTION ! If you ever decide to go with other brands be sure they say (automatic regulating) and that they can be criss crossed. Another major brand almost caught my Rv on fire , there was NO automatic regulation to it and when the heat tape thermostat kicked on it overheated. THIS BRAND DOES NOT OVER HEAT. and works very well.

Pros
  • Pre-assembled, easy to install. Including grounded plug with light, built in thermostat(turn the cable 37F on 50F off) and instructions. 120 volt, 3 watts/ft at 50 degrees F. Protect pipes up to 2" in diameter. Can be used by straight, spiral and overlap.
Cons
  • The installation process may require additional tools or equipment, making it more time-consuming than other heating solutions
