195FT Pipe Heating Cable delivers consistent 5W/ft at 120V. It prevents pipe freezing down to -40°F. Use on metal and plastic pipe for safe, reliable freeze protection.

Protect your pipes from winter’s worst. Our pipe heating cable keeps water flowing in subzero weather, avoiding costly damage. It is designed for year-round use wherever freezing is a risk.

This heat cable offers strong 5-watt-per-foot output. You get even heating over its 195-foot length. Pipes stay safe and functional through the deepest freezes. The built-in thermostat powers the cable only when pipe temperatures drop below 42.8°F. When the pipe is warm again at 55.4°F, it turns off. This saves energy and reduces wear.

Our cable fits a wide range of pipes. Use it with metal or plastic, including PEX lines. For plastic pipes, wrap the cable with aluminum foil first. Then, insulate with fiberglass. These steps keep heat where it is needed. The kit is install-ready. All necessary parts and instructions are in the box. It is simple: follow the steps, attach the cable, plug it in.

Safety comes first. This product uses a grounded plug with an indicator light. You know when it is powered. Only use with water-filled pipes. Do not use it on empty pipes, fuel lines, hoses, gutters, or steam systems. Protect your home and equipment—prevent frozen and burst lines in garages, basements, barns, and outside walls.

Using pipe heating cable reduces the risk of winter plumbing failure. Avoid expensive repairs caused by bursting. Enjoy steady water supply during cold snaps. The cable operates efficiently and quietly in the background.

Durability is built-in. The outer jacket resists abrasion and moisture, suitable for indoor or outdoor use. This means long-term, dependable freeze protection. The cable is easy to inspect. The indicator light provides reassurance that it is on and functioning. Regular checks can help you feel confident when winter arrives.

The pipe heating cable is a smart investment for property owners. Use it in homes, workshops, rental units, and commercial settings. Peace of mind in severe climates is invaluable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Question: How does the built-in thermostat of the heating cable work?
  Answer: The thermostat automatically senses the pipe’s temperature. When the temperature drops below 42.8°F, the thermostat activates the heating cable. It will keep heating until the pipe reaches 55.4°F. At that point, the cable shuts off. This cycle repeats as needed. This system helps avoid overheating and uses power only when necessary.
• Question: Is the cable compatible with different piping materials?
  Answer: Yes, this cable is safe for both metal and plastic pipes. It works with copper, steel, and PEX. For best results with plastic, always wrap the pipe with a layer of aluminum foil first. Then insulate with proper pipe insulation. This method improves heat transfer and prevents hot spots. Following instructions for your pipe material helps ensure best protection.
• Question: What pipe sizes will this heating cable fit?
  Answer: The heating cable is made for pipes between 3/8 inch and 1-1/2 inch diameter. For pipes that are larger, you may need to install more than one cable or wrap in a spiral fashion. Always check the manufacturer’s guide for recommendations. This ensures all pipe lengths and sizes are fully covered in freezing conditions.
