This product provides a heating element for preventing the freezing of water in pipes to -40°F. The built in thermostat turns the cable when temperatures lower to 38°F. Requirements for installation include application tape or electrical tape, fiberglass pipe insulation, tape measure, and eye protection. Ground fault protection is highly recommended for the circuit supplying the heating cable. From the Manufacturer UL and CSA approved electric pipe heating cable designed to prevent water line freeze up. Ready to install, grounded cord and plug, thermostat controlled, with pilot light. Recommended for use on metal and rigid plastic pipes. Exclusive Press-To-Test button test cable before installing! The built-in thermostat turns cable on at 38°F. Reliable low wattage design uses up to 70% less energy than other cables and protects to -50°F! Review: Plug light indicates power, not heat.. - So far so good. I have only had this installed for a few weeks, but wanted to post since I think they may be either shipping cables that are slightly different or maybe they have switched to a newer model. In reading the reviews some reviews report that the lighted plug is on all the time and some report that the light comes on when the cable is actually heating. On the cable I received this year (2016) the light is ALWAYS on and seems only to indicate that the circuit is complete and the cable has power. In order to test my cable I held a bag of ice against the thermostat and was able to hear it kick on and get warm. I'd recommend doing this test before you install it to make sure you didn't receive a dud cable. It's much easier to test before installing rather than finding out you have a problem later and having to rip it out and return it. I plan to test it at least annually by icing the thermostat. UPDATE - it has been a year since I purchased and installed this cable. Before winter set in I climbed back in my crawlspace and removed the zipties that I used to mount the thermostat so I could test it with a bag of ice. Sure enough, once it got cool enough I heard a slight audible click and the cable warmed up. I reinstalled the thermostat with zipties and climbed back out. I'll do it again every year but so far so good. UPDATE - just did my annual test (11/2020) and my cable is still working flawlessly. That being said, my cable is exactly like the one pictured here (orange on plug side, heat shrink tubing on a T shaped thermostat, black cable on the heating side). I have read reviews and seen online that they are now selling a purple flat cable type of heat cable and I have no experience with that one. Review: Keeps pipes from freezing. - This is just what I needed to make sure the water lines in my well house don't freeze up during the winter. It's easy to install, just wrap around the pipes and plug in. I wrapped mine with fiberglass insulation to help keep the heat in. Since the thermostat senses the air temperature and only turns on when needed, it will save a sum of money in electricity over having a heat lamp on 24 hours a day. The cable is well made and should last several years. ## Features - Made of rubber and pre-assembled electrical components - Protects against freezing pipes - 12 ft.

It's easy to install, just wrap around the pipes and plug in. I wrapped mine with fiberglass insulation to help keep the heat in.

The cable is well made and should last several years. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Important Detail Regarding the Thermostat *by K***P on December 22, 2010* I can recommend this product, but I had a problem that almost caused me to remove the heat tape with the insulation from my water line and return it, and that's not fun when it's cold outside. I wouldn't be surprised if some other people have had this problem, which is also a problem for the manufacturer and those selling the product. I assume the problem would exist with all of the other length heat tapes; they probably use this same thermostat. After installing the heat tape and insulation, I wanted to make sure it was working OK. I could have done this by watching the pilot light when it got cold, but I decided to use the "Kill a Watt" meter that I had purchased at Amazon about a year ago. (I highly recommend that product. It's relatively cheap, about $21. You plug it into a wall socket and then plug an electic appliance into it and it tells you the volts, amps, watts, power factor, kilowatt hours, etc.) I plugged the electric heat tape into the meter and I could see when the heat tape turned on and the watts it was drawing. (It was 19 to 20 watts by the way.) For one thing, by using the meter I didn't have to go outside to see the pilot light. Actually the pilot light is underneath my mobile home. The problem came when the temperature (where the heat tape was located) went down to a little below 30 degrees F on several occasions and the heat tape was not staying on. It was off quite a bit of the time. I wasn't anticipating that, and I thought the thermostat was probably defective. The instructions that came with the heat tape didn't prepare me for that. They mentioned some blinking for a while, but I thought the heat tape would be continuously on before the temperature dropped to 28 to 30 degrees. I don't think the thermostat is defective, and you certainly don't need for the heat tape to be on continuously when it is something like 28 to 30 degrees, but like I said, my first thought was that the thermostat was defective. Apparently when the thermostat first kicks on and the temperature isn't quite a bit colder than 30 degrees the flow of electricity warms up the thermostat a little and it kicks off for a while again. Fortunately I decided to monitor the heat tape for a while instead of removing it. Since then I have found that the colder it gets the more it stays on, and when it is cold enough it stays on all of the time. So far this year the temperature has dropped to 5 degree or so and I haven't had any problems with freezing water lines. Of course you have to insulate the water lines to recommended levels, remembering, for one thing, that this heat tape only uses some 19 to 20 watts. The 9 foot heat tape available in the local hardware stores uses 63 watts. I hope this note helps some people. ## Frequently Bought Together - M-D Building Products 4341 12-Foot Pipe Heating Cable with Thermostat - Frost King Foil Backed Fiberglass Pipe Wrap, 3"x1"x25' - Frost King HC30A Automatic Electric Heat Kit Heating Cables, 30 - Feet, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/1114349-04341-12-ft-pipe-heating-cable](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/1114349-04341-12-ft-pipe-heating-cable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
