Choose based on where the cable will be installed and what the pipe carries.
The heating cable runs along the outside of an accessible pipe and is covered with suitable insulation.
Best for: Exposed water and drain pipes, crawl spaces, basements and mobile homes.
Shop External CablesThe cable installs inside a potable water line when the freeze point is buried or inaccessible from outside.
Best for: Drinking water supply lines, well lines and underground pipe sections.
Shop Drinking Water CablesInternal heating reaches hidden freeze points inside non-potable sewer, drain or condensate lines.
Best for: Sewer pipes, drain lines, condensate lines and other non-potable applications.
Shop Sewer & Drain CablesQuick rule: If the pipe exterior is accessible, start with external heating. For a buried or inaccessible freeze point, consider an in-pipe solution.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Quick answers to common product selection and installation questions.
No. Unless the product page specifically states otherwise, the listed length refers to the heating cable only. The cold lead or power cord is listed separately in the product specifications.
External pipe heating cable is generally suitable for accessible pipes where the cable can be installed along the outside surface. In-pipe heating cable may be considered for buried or difficult-to-access lines. Always confirm whether the product is rated for potable water, drain lines or your specific application.
Preassembled constant-wattage cables and in-pipe heating kits cannot be cut, shortened or altered. Only products specifically identified as bulk or cut-to-length self-regulating cable may be field cut, and all terminations must be sealed with the correct connection components.
Not necessarily. Self-regulating cable adjusts its heat output as the surrounding temperature changes, but it may remain energized. Use a compatible thermostat or controller when automatic switching is required.
Compatible pipe insulation is usually recommended because it helps retain heat and improves system efficiency. Do not cover plugs, GFCI components, thermostats or controllers unless the product instructions specifically permit it.
