🔥 EasyHeat 2102 Freeze-Free Heating Cable - 100 Inches Review

I wrapped myself around the pies and the water meter on me and it worked fine, like a rope around it. I've also done long straight runs without bandages. Works great. I attached it to the pipe with tape. My two Pex pipes run side by side, so instead of running duct tape for each pipe I ran a pipe between the two and wrapped it in insulation. He should…

I did a lot of research on different heating cable systems and this product gave me the best value for money. Here are a few things I learned from my setup.
