🔥 Efficient Pipe Heating Solution: M-D Building Products 64428 Md Pipe Heating Cable With Thermostat, 18 Ft, Red, -50 Deg F Review

Exactly what I wanted (and needed). Works great, many days and nights have been below freezing here in upstate New York.

I built a greenhouse with a window and lined it on the bottom of the lower bed. In PNW we have very few frost days. But after 6 days passed with 28 degrees a month ago, not a single bed froze.

North Florida here and thought this product could be used to protect the water line outside the pumping station. After you receive the product and read the entire manual, it must not be used outdoors. Returned.

The number of spirals by taking the total length of the pipe and dividing it by the spacing you want (which is what I guessed). Estimated length by dividing the number of spirals by the length of each spiral. Walk in and

We purchased this heating tape and its insulation and installed it on 9/2011. It still works. Installation was easy and not complicated. This last purchase is a backup. This is a CONTINUE of my original review of January 8, 2013. Failed to install thermal tape 9/2011. I woke up early in the morning on 01/21/2013 and the pipes were frozen.
