Customer Reviews for VEVOR Self-Regulating Pipe Heating Cable, 24-feet 5W/ft Heat Tape for Pipes Freeze Protection, Protects PVC Hose, Metal and Plastic Pipe from Freezing, 120V

WORKS GREAT. EXACTLY AS PROMISED

It's long, It's tough to judge 120' until it's in your hands. For the cost it is well worth it. I'm forced to live in a trailer for the winter because of a house fire. I'm using a 100'-3/4" rubber/hybrid garden hose to drain my "problems" away. I used the rubber/hybrid garden hose. The cable is not recommended for standard garden hose construction. The hybrid is a thicker construction. So far no problems using the hybrid hose. I don't know if it's a recommended hose or not. I wrapped the heat cable around the hose an encased it in foam pipe insulation. I bought two of these cables and duplicated the wrapping and insulation on another 100'-3/4" hose, I'm in two trailers. So far we have had several nights in a row with temps at or under 11 degrees. No problems with freezing. Besides price/length the second reason I choose this heat cable is it is self regulated, so it's on only when needed. I would recommend this cable, and you have choose of different lengths.

This heating cable has worked very well for me. I used it on our pool cover to melt snow/ice for removal with a pump. The cable is easy to work with and was able to handle being submerged with no issues. I highly recommend this.

Easy way to have some extra protection from freezing pipes. Worked really well though the winter.Cable is well made.

This heat tape has been great to prevent pipes from freezing in the unheated crawl space underneath my house. I live in a cold climate and heat tape is a must-have item if you have water pipes under your floor, as I do. However, please be aware that the heat tape really needs to have a layer of insulation on top of it in order to work most effectively. Long lengths of heat tape can be a bit of a pain to install in a crawl space that is pretty shallow, but that's the fault of my crawl space, not the heat tape! The indicator light on the plug is a handy feature if you have the heat tape plugged in where it's visible, but I'm not sure about the utility of such a light with the heat tape plugged in under my house, since my crawl space isn't readily accessible. It seems like the plug light would be more useful if you're using the heat tape in an unheated basement or some other application where walking around and checking on it is easier. This heat tape appears to be thick and durable, but only time will tell if it will be susceptible to rodent damage or other problems.

This was pretty easy to use, a little difficult wrapping in cramped areas though. As another stated, it does turn on before it is needed but better early than late.

I got this to wrap my hoses this winter for the animals. I didn't read it closely enough to see that it won't work on hoses that you need to wrap it on your pipes. It is a very nice cable and easy to install when you have your pipes and not hoses. Should last for many seasons.

This was used to wrap my exposed grey tank pipes on my RV. This kept the line from freezing like it had before. Covered it with insulating tape and no issues leaving it on while traveling.

Had a cold spell and had our well freeze even with water trickling. This was an easy and great fix!

As advertised. Comes with one roll of adhesive tape to help attach the heat tape to the pipe.
