HEATIT 12ft Self-Regulating Pipe Heating Cable, Heat Tape for PVC Pipe Heater, Heat Trace Cable for Pipes, Thermostat control, Keeps Water Flowing at -40°F, ETL Listed, 120V 3W/FT

We live full time in our RV. We had the unfortunate luck of having to spend the winter in Minnesota. Our absolute main concern was protecting our water supply line. This product, after doing an easy wrap job on your hose is, plug it in and forget it.I love how it only asks for enough energy based on temperature. We had many days in the -10° range with the coldest of -20° with -0 issues. I actually made my supply line from Pex tubing which made wrapping a bit easier.

Used these to keep our pipes from freezing in Canada. They definitely worked, but I wish they offered more adjustability. The come on automatically at 4 degrees Celsius, 39F. Our copper pipes don't approach freezing until about -15C, 5F. So a lot of electricity is wasted because of this. They heat up fast and pretty hot. Warm to the touch when on. The tape they came with to fasten them to your pipes was pretty good too. Overall they worked well and were much cheaper than Home Depot's.

I first purchased this item in 2017 & it lasted eight years. I did expect it to last just five or six years so I am pleased. I know it has it's own thermostat, but I have it on a Sonoff TH-16 with temp probe so I can monitor the temperature and when the tape turns on / off. This unit protects my main water line and water meter, which had cost me $160.00 to replace when it froze in the past. Having the Sonoff in control let me know that this tape had reached it's end of life, and saved be a lot of money. This tape is awesome, and the $26.99 cost of this tape + the $30.48 cost of Sonoff, including extension cable, was well worth it.

This is the second time I have purchased this product. I forgot that it is best to measure where you want to use the product as having too much left over or changing the way that it is installed to make it work. It is a stiff cord so need to know that when having easy access to wrap its easy to install, if in a difficult location such as working under a craw space it can be difficult to work with.

I had real difficulty in finding heat tape in this short length. All of the local home improvement/hardware stores only sold it in much longer sizes. I had a problem with the sump exhaust to the dry well freezing last year, causing the sump level to rise and setting off the alarm. This product works very, very well. I'm happy that I was able to find the correct length. It has a thermostat control, too, so it turns off to save energy costs when the weather warms up. I will actually unplug it in another month or so and wait for next fall to plug it back in.

Bought these to keep my faucet and garden hose from freezing over the winter for the livestock love the idea that these had a built-in thermostat and it got to -20° outside this year and not once did I have a problem with the automatic water for the livestockI would definitely buy these again.

I live in the country where it does get very cold. this works great. no frozen pipes this year.

I didn't have to wrap the heat tape around the pipes but just one linear continued application on all my water pipes. It has kept my water pipes from freezing even in temperatures in the low 20s Fahrenheit. We are expecting colder weather down in the teens very soon and I'm confident that I will not have frozen or busted pipes like I normally do each year. Thank you it's an excellent product. PS it's easy to install running one straight line and attaching with duct tape or zip ties but making sure the heat tape is securely flat against the water pipes. I can look at it my well pump and see the light indicating the heat tape is on especially when I know it's going to be freezing overnight. Great value. Thank you
