Electric heating cable for pipe freeze protection
This six-foot self-regulating cable delivers 36 watts at 40 degrees Fahrenheit on a 240-volt AC supply. It draws 0.1 amps per cable and 0.025 amps per foot at that temperature. The thermoplastic elastomer jacket and copper conductors are rated for indoor or outdoor use. No plug is included, so the leads must be hardwired.
Thermals noise and power draw in normal use
At the rated 40-degree ambient the cable produces six watts per foot while drawing minimal current. The self-regulating design reduces output as the surrounding temperature rises, limiting surface temperature to 150 degrees Fahrenheit maximum. Operating range extends down to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit for extreme cold climates. No moving parts mean completely silent operation.
Behaviour under sustained load
The cable can be run continuously at its rated voltage without thermal shutdown. Maximum circuit length reaches 200 feet when multiple sections are connected in series. Power output remains stable across the 60-hertz supply frequency during extended heating cycles. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for chemical content known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 6 ft self-regulating heating cable and what is the most common mistake?
The cable is hardwired with no plug included. Connect the power cable to a 240V AC circuit. The step most often missed is verifying the circuit does not exceed the 200 ft maximum length allowed for this cable.
What maintenance or replacement will the heating cable need over time?
The self-regulating design has no moving parts. Inspect the thermoplastic elastomer cover periodically for cuts or abrasion. Replace the cable if the copper conductors become exposed or if the jacket shows signs of degradation.
What is the first limit reached during sustained operation at 40°F?
At 40°F the cable draws 0.1 A and produces 36 W total. The first limit is the 150°F maximum operating temperature, which the self-regulating function prevents by reducing power output as the cable warms.
