Good ItemNov 09, 2011
By matt151617
It hasn't been cold enough to use this yet, but I did install it. The directions say to keep the cable off the ground, but I wanted to use it on a pool pipe that was sitting on the ground, so I ran it along the side. You do need a few extra items before installing this. First, it says to wrap the pipe in aluminum foil if installing on plastic pipe (I didn't do this since the pipe is black and I figure it'll absorb heat just fine). Next, the cable has to be secured to the pipe every 6 inches with electrical tape rated at least 80°C. After that, you're supposed to wrap it in up to 1/2" fiberglass pipe insulation. Finally, you wrap the insulation in waterproofing material. I ended up needing a little under 50 feet of 1/2" fiberglass insulation wrap to wrap 12 feet of 1.5" pipe with 2 90 degree elbows and 2 large shut off valaves. The insulation was about $7 at Lowes and included plastic wrap to waterproof it. You will need some duct tape to secure the plastic in place.

For those wondering about the specs, the directions say the thermostat will kick on at 38°F and turn off once the pipe is heated to 45°F.

Must be Applied Flat to PipeJan 21, 2007
By Roy Rogers "Casa del Caballo"
I am using this heat tape to keep a standpipe and spigot from freezing outside the horse barn. It must be laid flat on the pipe as opposed to twisting it around the length of the pipe. For a long running pipe, this is the correct unit, but be sure to order the proper length.

Great product, keep pipes warmFeb 08, 2010
By Nickdotnet
Used this on the water hose for my RV while camping in the snow. Great product. Took 2 people to get it on tight, but did the trick. Other campers' lines were freezing every night, mine stayed nice and warm. Had some extra to wrap around the faucet too. Was a long process - going to keep it on that water hose and make it my "winter hose". Worked fine with a PVC (or rubber - whatever it is called) drinking water hose - didn't melt it or get too hot. Shipping took quite a while but I got it just in time.

Found some useful information about this cable.Dec 03, 2011
By Jeremiah Tepe "Goldenknob"
I have been searching for information about this cable pertaining to what temp it turns itself on, after reading the reviews stating that it doesn't say in the directions. I have found what I was looking for at the manufacturer website. Which states:

The thermostat turns the heating cable on when
exposed to temperatures below 38°F. It will shut the heating
cable off when the pipe has been heated to a temperature of
approximately 45°F.

I found this information from this link. [...]

I hope this helps any who are curious.
I haven't used this product yet, but have purchased it.

good heaterJan 15, 2011
By Robert French
This prouduct is a heater designed to keep pipes warm during winter. I installed the wiring around my pool pipes, and then insulated the wire heater along with the water pipe as suggested in the installation instructions. The heater and insulation combination are doing a fine job and have protected my pool piping from freezing in 10 degree weather so far. I am pleased with the purchase, the promptness of shipping the heater, and the instructions for its use.
