Do not wrap self regulating cable around the pipe in a coiled or spiral fashion, and do not use electric tape to attach it. WarmlyYours recommends attaching the cable in a straight run and to use aluminum or fiberglass tape, pipe straps, or plastic zip ties to attach the cable. Then cover the assembly with fire-resistant insulation and assure it is waterproof. Place electrical heating cable WARNING labels every 10‘, and where the label will be clearly visible.

No. Only install pipe heat (heat trace cable) in accessible locations. Do not install this self regulating cable in walls or any place where the cable is hidden. Do not run it through walls, ceilings, or floors. The cable must be installed 10“ away from combustible surfaces, such as wood, and it should not be embedded in insulation or roofing material.

WarmlyYours does not recommend using an extension cord for permanent installations. Pipe heat should always be plugged directly into a receptacle or hardwired to the circuit that is powering it.
