Frostguard FG2-18L 18 ft Heating Cable

The Frostguard FG2-18L is an 18 ft self-regulating electric heating cable designed for indoor or outdoor pipe freeze protection. It operates on 240V AC at 50 Hz and delivers 6 watts per foot at 40°F. The cable includes a 6 ft cold lead and is ready for hardwire installation.

Suits Pipe Freeze Protection Only

This cable suits homeowners or contractors who need to prevent pipes from freezing in residential or light commercial settings. It is not intended for roof de-icing, gutter melting or floor warming applications. Buyers who need longer continuous runs beyond the 300 ft maximum circuit length should look at alternative heating solutions.

Hardwire Install With Simple Limits

Installation requires hardwiring the 6 ft cold lead to a 240V supply, so basic electrical knowledge is needed. The self-regulating design adjusts output automatically, reducing overheating risk. Common issues include exceeding the 300 ft circuit limit or damaging the rubberised polymer jacket during routing, which can create a short.

Questions about this item

What electrical supply do I need to power this 240 V AC heating cable?

Connect the hard-wire cold lead to a 240 V AC, 50 Hz circuit protected by a suitable breaker; the cable draws 0.5 A per 18 ft length at 40 °F.

Can I run this self-regulating cable on the same circuit as older constant-wattage heat trace?

Yes, provided the combined load stays within the 300 ft maximum circuit length and the breaker is rated for the total amp draw at 40 °F.

How do I verify the cable is heating correctly after installation?

At 40 °F the cable should draw about 0.5 A total (0.03 A per foot) and the outer jacket will not exceed 150 °F during normal operation.
