Value Brand Electric Heating Cable 120VAC 100 ft Red
Non-regulating electric heating cable delivers 300 W at 40 °F across 100 ft of copper conductor with PVC cover
- ColorRed
- Delivers 300 W of heat at 40 °F
- Operates on standard 120 V AC household power
- Non-regulating design provides constant output along full 100 ft length
- PVC jacket protects copper conductors up to 221 °F max temperature
- Hardwired installation with 2-conductor cable rated for 2.5 A total current
Purpose & Audience
This 100‑foot electric heating cable operates at 120 VAC and delivers 3 watts per foot at 40 °F for a total of 300 watts. It is designed for indoor, hard‑wired installations such as pipe freeze protection or roof‑edge de‑icing where a constant‑wattage, non‑regulating trace is required.
Who It Suits & Who Should Look Elsewhere
Installers who need a simple, single‑phase copper cable with PVC jacket and a maximum circuit length of 250 ft will find it a direct fit. Buyers who need self‑regulating output that adjusts with temperature, outdoor‑rated construction, or a plug‑and‑play connector should look elsewhere.
Capacity & Headroom
At 40 °F the cable draws 2.5 amps overall, or 0.025 amps per foot, and can maintain operation up to 221 °F. The 250‑ft maximum circuit length gives headroom for longer runs, while the fixed 3‑watt‑per‑foot output means heat does not decrease in warmer sections.

Questions about this item
Does this 100 ft cable require a thermostat or controller to operate safely?
The cable is non-regulating, so it delivers constant 3 W per foot at 40°F. A separate thermostat or controller must be installed to cycle power and prevent overheating.
Can I run this 120 V cable on the same circuit as older 120 V heat trace without exceeding the 250 ft maximum circuit length?
Total combined length on one circuit must stay within the 250 ft maximum; verify the existing run length before adding this 100 ft cable.
How can I confirm the cable is drawing the expected 2.5 A at 40°F after installation?
Clamp a multimeter on the supply leads; a reading near 2.5 A per cable at 40°F indicates the 300 W output is active.
