Description
3W Compact In-Pipe Heating Cable for Condensate & Small Drain Lines
MAXKOSKO Compact In-Pipe Heating Cable provides freeze protection for compatible open drain lines, HVAC condensate pipes, furnace drains, freezer condensate drains, gray-water discharge lines, and other small low-pressure drainage systems.
Its approximately 3W/ft output and compact cable profile make it a practical choice for smaller pipes where the heavy-duty 5W sewer cable may be unnecessarily large or powerful.
Compact Drain Cable
Designed for smaller open drains, condensate lines, and low-pressure wastewater pipes with limited internal space.
3W/ft Standard Output
Provides efficient freeze protection for smaller drainage applications without the higher output of the heavy-duty sewer model.
Open Drain Applications
Suitable for accessible drain openings, condensate outlets, gray-water discharge lines, and similar vented drainage systems.
Corrosion-Resistant Jacket
The fluoropolymer outer jacket helps protect the heating cable in wet and wastewater environments.
Important Before Ordering
For Small Open or Low-Pressure Drain Lines
Not for Drinking Water: Do not use this product in potable water supply pipes, wells, household drinking-water systems, or pressurized water lines.
Open or Low-Pressure Systems: This model is intended primarily for open-ended, vented, or low-pressure drain and condensate lines.
Primarily for Smaller Pipes: Best suited for compatible drain pipes under approximately 2 in, provided the cable can pass through the complete internal route without force.
Not for Sealed Pressure Systems: Do not use it in sealed pressurized plumbing or applications requiring a high-pressure watertight cable entry.
Check the Pipe Condition: Do not insert the cable into blocked, collapsed, crushed, leaking, or unknown pipe routes.
Avoid Sharp Bends: The cable must not be forced through tight elbows, traps, narrow fittings, or mechanical obstructions.
Fixed-Length Cable: Choose the correct heating length before purchase. Do not cut, shorten, splice, or modify the cable.
Self-Regulating Is Not Auto-Off: The cable adjusts heat output but continues consuming power while connected.

Basic Installation Requirements View Requirements Hide Requirements
- Confirm that the pipe is an open, vented, or low-pressure non-potable drain line.
- Measure the freeze-prone length before choosing a cable size.
- Inspect and clear the complete pipe route before cable insertion.
- Insert the cable through an accessible open end, outlet, or cleanout.
- Do not force it through traps, tight elbows, blocked sections, or unknown pipe routes.
- Keep the power connection dry and protected from standing water.
- Disconnect power when freeze protection is no longer required.
- Review the complete product instructions before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of pipe is this cable designed for?
It is designed mainly for small open drains, HVAC and furnace condensate pipes, gray-water discharge lines, and other compatible low-pressure non-potable drainage systems.
Can it be used in a drinking-water pipe?
No. It is not intended for potable water or pressurized household supply pipes. Choose one of the MAXKOSKO drinking-water in-pipe heating cables instead.
What pipe size is recommended?
This compact model is primarily intended for compatible drain lines under approximately 2 in. The complete route must still provide enough clearance for the cable.
What is the difference between this and the 5W sewer cable?
This model has lower 3W/ft output and is better suited for smaller open drains and condensate lines. The 5W model is designed for larger and heavier sewer, septic, sump, and wastewater applications.
Can it be used in a sealed pressurized pipe?
No. It is intended for open, vented, or low-pressure drain applications rather than sealed pressurized plumbing.
Does the cable turn itself off?
No. Self-regulating technology adjusts heat output but does not fully disconnect power. Pair it with the MAXKOSKO 120V Thermostat Controller for automatic temperature-based operation.
Controller & Product Selection
For automatic operation and reduced unnecessary power use, connect the cable to the MAXKOSKO 120V Pipe Heating Cable Thermostat Controller.
For larger sewer, septic, sump, or heavy wastewater pipes, choose the MAXKOSKO 5W Heavy-Duty Sewer Pipe Heating Cable.
For pressurized drinking-water pipes, choose the Standard Drinking Water In-Pipe Cable or the Y-Fitting Drinking Water Cable.
