Customer Reviews for Pipe Heating Cable 9FT 7W/FT Heat Tape for Pipes with Built-in Thermostat

I am supposed to write a review, but I cannot write a meaningful review until we are well into the freezing weather period. The wiring looks to be technically appropriate and the instructions are clear and emphasize the need to use caution. I have a set of hot and cold water pipes that go from the basement to a second floor bathroom. They tend to freeze at least once a year, even though insulation was added a couple of years ago. They go up an outside wall. There is an area at which I can have access, above the basement. I am hoping that this will safely generate sufficient heat to avoid a freeze. I will update this review if the pipes freeze or when we are beyond the freezing period.

This works great on the water pipes on my food truck during the cold months. It’s very easy to use you simply wrap it around the pipes I would say you wanna give the pipes about a finger length in between each wrap and then you plug it up into your extension cord or directly to your generator and it heats up after about 30 minutes or so and it keeps the pipes warm all night long so that your pipes don’t freeze. Make sure to measure your pipes so that you can choose the right length of cord. Do you want to have enough cord to cover the pipe as well as enough cord to reach where it is that you’re going to plug it into.

I don't use these as most people most likely do. I use it to work in tandem with a heat lamp in the winter to keep the auto watering system flowing for my chickens. The lamp keeps the cups thawed and the cable helps keep water moving down the pipe.

Where I'm at we don't get a lot of freezing pipes, so when it does happen, no one is prepared. That was until now, the last time we got a big deep freeze, everyone was in trouble after, due to the all the burst pipes. We were lucky and only one of ours froze, and we were able to thaw it out slowly. So, now we know which pipes are vulnerable we can take precautions.This pipe heating cable looks to be good quality & the price is great; it's got a nice weight/heft to it & the length will work perfectly in our bathroom, I recommend.

I ordered this pipe heating cable from Vevor to protect my sprinkler system in the winter. Most of the pipes for the system are far enough underground that I don't need to worry about them freezing in the winter, but the main pipes that connect the sprinkler system to my water supply (Where the shutoff valves are) are above the ground next to my house. So those exposed pipes need to be protected. In the past I have just wrapped them with a blanket and hoped for the best. But with this heating cable I can be sure they won't freeze. After I attach it to the pipes and plug it in, the thermostat will turn the heating unit on when the temperature drops below 43 degrees F and turn it back off when the temperature is above 55 degrees F. This is a great product with a variety of uses, and you can buy it in lengths from 3 feet to 30 feet.

This is super easy to install and operate. Used on a small farm.
