Heat Tape for Pipes With a Built-In Thermostat and Indicator Light
It happens when your pipes freeze and burst mid winter without any warning. One cold night wipes out your plumbing and turns into a costly water damage mess. Keep basement pipes, outdoor hydrants, faucets, and pipe valves running through even the coldest nights.
A built-in thermostat activates at 43°F and cuts off at 55°F so it only draws power when pipes need it. Running at 5W per foot, it raises temperature by 85°F in 5 minutes. Wrap it straight, spiral, or crossing on PVC, metal, or plastic pipes.
The thermostat accuracy sits at ±1° so the cable reacts to actual pipe temperature, not rough estimates. CE-approved and IP68 rated, it handles outdoor exposure and wet conditions without breaking down. It holds up for up to 3 years of regular winter use.
This 3-foot power cord gives you extra reach when the outlet isn't close to the pipe. An indicator light on the plug shows when the cable is actively running. The self-regulating design means no overheating risk even where cable sections overlap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable run all the time or only when needed?
The built-in thermostat activates automatically at 43°F and shuts off at 55°F, so the cable only draws power when your pipes actually need heat and switches off on its own once the temperature is stable.
Can I use this on outdoor pipes and in wet conditions?
Yes, the IP68 waterproof rating means the cable is fully sealed for outdoor exposure and wet environments, so it handles rain, snow, and moisture without breaking down over time.
How do I know if the cable is actually working?
The plug includes an indicator light that glows whenever the cable is actively running, so you can check at a glance without touching the pipe or testing any connections.
What pipe types is this compatible with?
It works on PVC, metal, and plastic pipes and can be installed straight, spiral, or crossing depending on your setup, with no special tools required to get it in place.
