Review on πŸ”₯ Efficient 120V TOPDURE TDSF 3-feet Self Regulating Pre-assembled Pipe Heating Cable - Proven Performance and Easy Installation by Josh Ulrich

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It does not work! for harsh installations

DID NOT WORK! We bought it to run shallow but semi-permanent tubing to the trailer so we didn't have to bury it deep (or at all in some places), but instead needed to keep the tubing from freezing. We've done a lot of research on the use of heating cable, including how it's installed and insulated, as well as how it works, and we've taken great care to get it installed correctly. Since we installed it we have had 20-30 days and/or nights where the temperature has been below freezing and if we don't run the trailer it freezes completely defeating its intended use. We thought it was coincidence so we kept trying and hoping we had done something wrong and fixable by checking the electrical connection and further investigating etc but it just doesn't do anything and doesn't seem to be a problem in our case be. understand what it is supposed to do, or in our setup, just a faulty cable. Right now it's half buried in pipes and insulation so there's no way to cancel or redo the job, we just have to waste water every time we hit frost and we have a few hundred bucks for a nonexistent project issued.

Pros
  • Heavy duty self-regulating heating cable. Prevent pipes from freezing. Very durable.
Cons
  • Some errors
