The Vevor pipe heating cable is designed to help prevent water pipes from freezing in cold weather. This 80' heat tape delivers 7W per foot of constant power and features a built-in thermostat for automatic operation. It is suitable for use with PEX, PVC hose, and metal pipes in areas such as RVs, basements, garages, gardens, water tanks, outdoor hydrants, pipe valves, and faucets. The pre-assembled design allows for straightforward installation when laid in full contact with the pipe. Built with a fiberglass heating core, PVC insulation, copper wire shielding, and a PVC protective jacket, it is made for reliable winter performance.
