Pipe Wraps

Heating Cables

If you live in areas where winter can become icy, you will want to get some heated pipe wraps. These moisture and chemical-resistant heating cables are ideal for offering both freeze protection and thawing applications. Quickly wrap around the metal and plastic pipes and valves you have around your house, shop or outbuilding. Pipe wraps and heating cables work by being plugged into an outlet and then wrapped around the pipes or valves you need to be protected or thawed. Heating cables and pipe wraps can be used inside and outside buildings.

So if your neck of the woods has deep freeze winters, you can be sure your pipes are projected; heating cables work in temperatures as low as -40 degrees. You'll need to know two things before you pick up a heating cables or pipe wrap: how many watts of electricity will be used and what length of cable you'll need. You will want to focus on length primarily. Measure how long the pipe is that you will be using the heated cable on. Another thing you will want to remember when shopping for a pipe wrap is how far your pipe is from an outlet. Get an extension cord to pair with the heating cable. Don't let winter damage your pipes.
