Review on Pre-Assembled 6Ft Self-Regulating Pipe Heating Cable - 120V By HEATIT For Efficient Winter Protection by Carlos Barrett

I think that the product is working. It was a little stiff to wrap around the pipe and I would not have felt comfortable rapping it back on itself in the pipe, but overall I got the job done well.If it keeps my pipes from bursting, I am very happy. However, there are two things that I'm not very happy with pertaining to this product. Since they don't want you to use an extension cord, it makes it nearly impossible to plug this in without having an outlet right near the water pipes. I doubt that Outlets are supposed to be located that close to water pipes. I know my outlet isn't. The cord should be longer. The other thing that is annoying is that when you plug this in, a light stays on continuously. Yes, you know power is going to this item. However, my previous pipe tape light only lit when the pipe tape was actually heating the pipes. I would much rather know it's in operation and has power, then know ONLY that power is going to the item. I do wonder how long this light will last.
