Review on πŸ”₯ Heat Cable for Pipe Freeze Protection: 30 Feet with Built-in Thermostat, High-Temp Installation Tape, Heavy-Duty & Self-Regulating - 120 Volt by Christopher Theriault

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This seems to be the solution to our problem.

All the tests I tried worked for me including using an ice cube to activate the thermostat after attaching it to the split drain pipe. I was glad I actually spoke to the president of this company when I called to ask if their product would work for me in the sewer and how versatile it is. We live in western Kansas and the drain shown in the photo is actually dug into the soft sandstone. When it drops to 15ΒΊ it starts to freeze and completely closes this drain. After meeting Steve (company president) I McGyvered (sp?) this rig to push into an existing leak. While I initially thought I would have liked a longer cord, the 2 foot cord was long enough to go through a wall of "windbreak" which helps with cold winds. It actually has a lid covering the front which was removed to mount the thermal tape device and take a mounted photo. The cold is coming this week. I will update later.

Pros
  • Pipe Heater Cable
Cons
  • Upgradeable
