It’s a common question that the GlowCap™ End Seal Kit was designed to answer from a distance. If the green indicator light is on, your cable is working. Installing the GlowCap™ End Seal kit on self-regulating heat cable takes about five minutes total. The kit includes a 12” section of 6 watt HeatTapePro™ Self-Regulating Heat Cable that is factory terminated with a GlowCap™, which is an injection molded body with an embedded 100,000 hour UL-Listed LED. The other end of the assembly is prepared and ready to be crimped onto the stripped end of any 10-13mm self-regulating heat cable.
The GC-ESK increases system reliability significantly because cable function can be verified in seconds with a quick glance at the GlowCap™. This is particularly helpful on cable systems that are inaccessible, such as on high locations

The terms heat cable, heat tape and heat trace are all used interchangeably to described heated cables used to protect pipes from freezing, preventing roof and gutter ice dams from forming and for safeguarding temperature sensitive components.
Other terms we’ve seen used regarding Heat Tape are:
Heat Tape Pro and Pipe Freeze Pro are offered in many lengths from 6-foot up to 150-foot. These products are not designed to be modified, so you should pick the length you need and work with that length. These cables should not be altered and doing so would void any warranty on the product.
We offer heat tape on spools from 250-foot to 1000-foot. These spools are designed to be cut to length, made into multiple cables, etc. Heat Tape on spools needs to be hard-wired into a junction box, or have a power connection plug-in manually added to it for use. It also requires ends to be properly sealed and terminated. When working with Heat Tape on spools, a Licensed Electrician should be utilized to assure proper wiring per regional codes and standards.
