Does the job, easy to install

    • Seems like it should do the job.
Size: 3-Feet
I had a 4 foot baseboard pipe that froze last year during a terrible cold snap. I decided to try this heating cable this winter to prevent it from happening again. I checked out a few different ones and decided to go with the Frost King 3-footer. Basically the item looks well made. Being you need to tape it to the pipe then wrap it in 1/2 inch fiberglass insulation then wrap the fiberglass with plastic (comes with the fiberglass) I decided I should test it out to be sure it works before going through all that. I unwinded it and plugged it into a GFCI outlet. I put a plastic bag filled with ice over the thermostat and waited about 15-20 minutes. I felt the cable and wow it sure did get pretty hot. I was impressed. I installed it which took about 30 mins all together and I'm hoping for the best. I have no way of knowing if it will prevent the pipe from freezing but my feeling is it should do a good job based on my initial testing of the cable. PS they do recommend a GFCI outlet. I had to replace a regular outlet with a GFCI as well. ... show more

    • Worked great while it lasted
Size: 9-Feet
Worked great in east Tennessee for almost two years. Then when thermostat called for heat it trips the gfi receptical. Replacing it with a different brand.

Even though I live in North Central Florida, we do get enough cold weather that we have to worry about our exposed pipes freezing in the winter This electric heat tape keeps my pipes from freezing during the coldest days in the months of January and February

This Frost King 6ft heat cable works exactly as it supposed to work! I have a pipe that has frozen and split two times in a 10 year period in a non-heated crawl space area. As you can see from the pictures that this last time I made the repair I located the pipe 2 inches away from the outside wall and used the thicker walled "Type L" copper pipe. The Frost King heat cable was very flexible (after I tested it and it had warmed up) to easily tie-wrap to the pipe every 3.5 - 4 inches. After it was tied to the pipe, I trimmed the tie-wrap "tails" and covered the pipe and heat cable with Frost King cotton pipe insulation. Then I covered the spiral seems of the cotton insulation with aluminum duct tape to keep away bugs and critters that may be attracted to the cotton. The Frost King cotton insulation is Class A fire rated, so I have no worries that this install is safe... especially with aluminum furnace tape over it. When I first tried to test the heat cable by using ice packs to chill the sensor for 10-15 mins, the cable appeared to be a dud... it didn't get warm and my "Kill-A-Watt" meter showed no power usage. Then I thought that the heat cable and sensor, that have been sitting in my 90+ degree garage for a day, may be too warm internally to activate even with ice packs surrounding the sensor. So, I put the heat cable in my refrigerator, for 45 mins, to chill the whole thing down to my average crawl space temps in winter time. Then I extended the chilled cable on my counter top and covered the sensor with ice packs and wrapped a hand towel around it (just the sensor section) to let the cold do its job. Within 10 mins the watt meter showed that the cable was drawing 42 watts. I left the cable warm up for another 20mins to see how hot it would get and I could still comfortably hold it in my hand. After I removed the ice packs the cable switched off in just under 8 mins in a 70 degree kitchen... so this cable is slower to react to sudden temp changes than I had thought it would, but it works exactly like it should, since it is only keeping water flowing and preventing ice damage. ... show more

Bought this for an elderly neighbor who has less than superb plumbing to his domicile. It arrived on time and as described. Value is only ok as I went and got another one and was able to get same exact one at local hardware store for $3 less locally which is saying something where I live (fairly remote). Maybe that was a fluke though. All in all a good product . I would buy again and or recommend this product . ... show more
