Frostguard FG1-24P Electric Heating Cable 24 ft 120VAC

SKU CH-MQXJ-KJZE7

Self-regulating heating cable prevents pipe freezing with 6 W per foot output at 40 °F and a 24 ft length

  • Self-regulating heat output adjusts automatically at 40 °F
  • 24 ft pre-assembled cable with 6 ft cold lead ready to plug in
  • 120 V AC grounded 5-15P plug fits standard household outlets
  • 6 W per foot delivers 150 °F maximum operating temperature
  • Extendable up to 200 ft maximum circuit length for larger projects

Ready-to-Use Pipe Protection

The Frostguard FG1-24P is a self-regulating electric heating cable designed to prevent water pipes from freezing in residential and light-commercial settings. It arrives as a 24 ft pre-assembled length with a 6 ft cold lead and a grounded 120V plug for immediate connection to a standard outlet. The rubberized polymer jacket suits indoor or outdoor installation.

Self-Regulating Output Under Load

Output adjusts automatically with surrounding temperature, delivering 6 W per foot at 40°F and drawing 1.2 A total per cable at that condition. The conductive carbon core reduces power as the pipe warms, avoiding overheating during sustained operation. Maximum circuit length reaches 200 ft on a single breaker at 50 Hz.

Upgrade From Basic Heat Tape

This cable replaces constant-wattage heat tape that cannot modulate output and risks burnout if overlapped. The jump is worth it when protecting plastic or metal supply lines in unheated spaces where ambient temperatures fluctuate. It is not for buyers who need longer continuous runs than 200 ft or higher temperature maintenance above 150°F.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 24 ft cable draw at 40°F?

At 40°F the cable uses 6 W per foot and 1.2 A total, giving 0.05 A per foot on a 120 V AC circuit.

What must the installation site already provide?

A standard 120 V AC outlet with a NEMA 5-15P receptacle and a circuit capable of 1.2 A at 40°F.

Can I run this cable on the same circuit with older heating cable?

Yes, the self-regulating design and 200 ft maximum circuit length allow mixed-age cables on one breaker.
