Self-Regulating Heat Tape
PRO-Tect self-regulating cable is cut to length as part of a specified system with the required connections and accessories. Its design depends on the pipe and installation conditions.

Choosing heat tape for a plastic water pipe starts with the pipe itself.
The material, size, water service, and location all help determine which cable and installation requirements apply. WarmlyYours offers PRO-Tect self-regulating cable and constant-wattage plug-in kits for pipe freeze protection.
Compare the two systems, then send us your pipe details for help selecting a suitable configuration.
Start with the Markings on Your Pipe
Look for the manufacturer's name, material designation, and size printed on the pipe. Photograph those markings before choosing a heating cable.
PEX, PVC, and other plastic piping can have different requirements. A general plastic-pipe description does not establish approval for every pipe system.
Show How the Water Line Is Used
A water-supply line, an intermittently filled drain, and a flexible hose are different applications. Include what the pipe carries so the recommendation addresses your actual plumbing.
Photograph the full run as well as labels and fittings. If it continues outside, our outdoor water line guide explains which exposure details to include.
Compare the Two PRO-Tect Systems
Choose around your pipe, exposure, insulation, and electrical supply. The exact cable or kit's installation requirements must fit the project.
Constant Wattage Heat Tape
PRO-Tect plug-in kits combine fixed-length heating cable, a built-in thermostat, and a plug-in connection. The kit length and installation requirements must fit the pipe run.

Is the pipe material enough to choose a kit?
Material is one part of the selection. Diameter, run length, water service, insulation, exposure, and power supply also affect the recommendation.
Where can I find the installation requirements?
Use the manual for the exact cable or kit. Pipe Heat Tape Support provides product resources, and our team can help identify the document that applies to your selection.
