I bought the 3 ft length for this product to protect a copper drainage line and the instructions are very confusing as it says that the temperature sensor should be at the end of the heating cable or at the splice with no picture explaining their meaning… so I don’t know if it will work since the bulky round stuff on the cable is next to the power plug and there is no way it can be installed at the end of the pipe and plugged to power at the same time. So I hope, the temperature sensor is at…

Our water pipes are located above ground here in the desert, but we occasionally get temperatures below freezing in the winter. While a number of neighbors had burst water pipes, we never had a problem.

Do not overlap thermostat sensor with another section. Previous review was very dissatisfied until i learned the cause. Separated sensor from the vicinity of the other cable and all was solved. Kept 300 feet of foam wrapped pex toasty warm

After a week of frozen pipes with a heated pipe tape that was 'working', but couldn't keep up with the artic blast (10 degrees), I had running water again only 3 hours after applying this heat tape! The current temps are -10 to -30s BEFORE wind chill and I still have running water!Just as easy to install as any other heat tape. Can be covered with insulation, wrapped back on itself, and self regulates the temperature. I may no longer have frozen pipes each year!

This thing works great wrapped around a faucet and a hose and water has not frozen up yet trhee days below freezing so far The product may not meet certain safety regulations in certain regions or settings.

This heating cable is good quality and does what it is supposed to do. Thanks for attention. I am very happy with this product.

I can't get customer svc to just tell me the power use per foot when down to minus -25C. If I knew that, I could see ifv the issue is just that it's pulling too close to 15A and need to chg the gfci and ckt fuse.frustrating.

Our "Frost Free" Hydrant.didn't turn out as frost free as we hoped. To repair the drain, would be very time consuming. Since a pipe repair had to be done anyway, I put a PCV pipe 4 feet down into the ground aroudn the metal pipe. I dangled this heater cord down into the pipe, wrapped some of the heater around the top of the hydrant and used insulation and insulated tape to wrap it up. It has been below freezing for 2 1/2 months so far, it is 20 below as I am writing this with 30 below…

I got this for an old lady who had issues with frozen pipes. This was very easy to install and it's kept the pipes from freezing.

I bought this for last winter and had it in place for the Texas freeze. It didn’t seem to work then, but we were frequently without power so I wasn’t sure. Now I’m in freezing weather again with full power this time and it is not working. I bought a second different brand heat cord from Walmart and when I touch it I can feel warmth. Anytime I’ve touch this product, it has always been cold. So disappointed and fighting cold hoses.

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

This is super easy to install and operate. I purchased this to keep our chicken's water from freezing during the winter. The temperatures have gotten down in the 20s and we've had freezing rain, snow and sleet. Through it all the HEATIT heating cable has kept the water flowing. With a variety of sizes you should be able to find one that suits your particular application.

The heat cord is a little stiff for wrapping pipe. It does warm well and works well. I like it for wrapping long water pipe. Good quality.

I wrapped the 120 ft heat cable around a 100 ft 1/2 " garden hose. I ran it from a back yard, up to the roof of a five story apt. building. First check your your heating cable by taking it indoors then plugging it into an 110v outlet. Uncoil about 4 ft of cable from the thermostat side. Take a bucket or pail and fill it half way with cold water from the frig. then add at least 24 ice cubes. This is to make sure the cable is working. Once the temp. reaches about 35° or lower the thermostat…

It stopped working in just 2 years. Make sure you check annually. We found out it wasn't working the we wrong way. Due to the working life, I don't recommend buying this product.

Worked as advertised. Just installed on 2 RV water supply hoses (25’ & 35’) spiral wound with extra loop at supply connector & where 2 hoses connected. Covered with 1” id x 1/2” thick Pre slit foam insulation. With outside temperatures dropping to 20° to 30° for 4-6 hours nightly with insulation and no heat cable hoses froze every night. With heating cable installed hoses never froze and shut off at approximately 45-50° water temperature. I have used self regulating heat cable for commercial/…

I have a well and the pipes are exposed to the cold. The heating cable wrapped around the pipes works as advertised and the pipes have not frozen when the temperature dropped to 10 degrees.

Had a big ice dam at my new house, right over the front door. Chipped it out, then put this in there. Not even a single icicle after that. I rated install at 3 stars not because the manufacturer did anything, but because getting 20 feet up on a ladder to thread stubborn wire around gutter bolts is not exactly easy or safe.

Bought this as my water supply line to my house is laying above ground due to a remodel, in December:( Wrapped it in foam insulation with this tape inside. Works well. Cycles on and off as temperature dictates. Keeps the water line from freezing in 20 degree temps. Also, I threw the whole thing in the freezer for a bit then plugged it in to verify it was working before install. Takes awhile to install correctly.

Be carful when selecting one of these, there is a difference between "self regulating” and "automatic”. Do your research. I learned by trial and error. This is intended for water pipes but I wanted it to tuc in between my aluminum sliding door and it’s aluminum track. Normally it fills up with frost and eventually freezes shut. With just a little ingenuity to position the thermostat, this worked great.
