Self-Regulating Heat Tape for Water Pipes

Pipe Heat cable Blue, Green and Black are categorized as Self-Regulating Heating Cables. These cables adjust their heat output based on the surrounding temperature.
They automatically increase power output when the temperature drops and decrease it when the temperature rises. This self-regulation helps prevent overheating and ensures efficient operation.

Pipe Heat cable Red is categorized as Constant Wattage Heating Cables. These cables provide a consistent and fixed amount of heat output per foot throughout their entire length.

They do not adjust their heat output based on temperature changes in the surrounding environment.

If you want a plug-and-heat solution that even operates at -40℉(-40℃), and a 6ft. power cord is preferred, consider Pipe Guard Green.

If you prioritize enhanced energy efficiency, automatic On/Off control, and Anti-freeze at down to -40℉(-40℃), consider Pipe Guard Blue.

If you are looking for a cost-effective option, a 6ft. power cord is preferred, and your city normally won't get as cold as -4℉(-20°C), consider Pipe Guard Red.

Pipe heat cables Blue, Green and Red are designed for pipe freeze protection.
Pipe heat cable black can be used for pipes as well as roof deicing and snow-melting.

PIPE FREEZE PROTECTION: Pipe Heating Cable, 5 W/ft, heats up rapidly. This heat trace for water pipes can keep water flowing at ambient temperatures down to -40°F (-40°C). Pipe heat tape consists of a 6 Ft power cord plus a heating cable that varies from 2 Feet to 150 feet long.
HIGH TECH SELF-REGULATING HEATING TECHNOLOGY: The pipe heater smartly adjust its power output and never overheat or Burn. The heat trace for pipes can be installed with Straight-traced, Spiraled, or Overlapped.
EASY INSTALLATION: The water line heat tape is pre-assembled and ready to Install. You can easily DIY this heat cable for pipes by following the 4-steps instruction. Please plug directly and indicated lighter shows the heat trace cable has power and is heating.(If you want to test before installation, please test at a temperature under 0°C (32°F)).
FOR BOTH PLASTIC AND METAL PIPES: The pipe wrap heat tape protects commercial and residential plastic or metal water supply pipes insulation from freezing in cold winter (Including RV, inlet pipe, drain pipe, sewer, palm tree frost protection, etc). And this pipe heating tape can freeze-protect pipes of up to 2in. diameter.
PACKAGE AND MATERIAL: Self-regulating heated pipe wrap cable comes with fiberglass cloth tape to secure the electric heat tape on water pipe. The inner core is made of pure copper, the explosion-proof layer is made of aluminum winding, and the outer protective sleeve is high and low temperature resistant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What should I do if I finish wrapping the heating cable around the insulated water pipe, but there’s still some leftover cable?

A1: If it's not too much trouble, the best option is to unwrap and rewrap the cable, ensuring the wraps are slightly denser to fully utilize the remaining heating cable. This maximizes the efficiency of the heat produced.

A simpler option is to wrap the leftover cable back around the end section; overlapping is not a concern since our heating cable is self-regulating. This will generate additional heat, causing the cable to sense the increased temperature and lower its output power.

The final option is to cut off the excess cable. If you choose this method, make sure to seal the cut end with a waterproof end cap to prevent water ingress.

Please note that cutting should only be done with self-regulating heating cables; constant wattage cables should not be cut.

Questions & Answers

Ask a Question

Does the Green cable ever turn off? Or is it constantly on? Does it start up and turn off at different temperatures? If it does not, can I simply plug it into a thermostatically controlled power outlet?

Thank you for your question!
The green cable is a plug-and-heat type of self-regulating cable. It starts heating when powered on and stops working when powered off. It can adjust its output power based on the surrounding temperature, but it doesn’t automatically turn on and off at specific temperatures like MAXKOSKO blue heat cable with built-in thermostat.
You can use it with a MAXKOSKO thermostatically controlled power outlet.
