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
“Heat Tape Pro did exactly what I needed it to do. Now I don’t have to worry about water leaking into my house, because I can tell when it’s working by the little light on the end of the cable.”

One thing to keep in mind: our cables are fairly heavy, which mean they are expensive for us to ship. This means that they are even more expensive to ship expeditiously. A little bit of planning ahead can save you some good money.
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:
Including a thermostatic heat tape switch or controller in your installation will cut power to your heat tape in times it is not needed. This will lessen your environmental footprint and save you money.
Savings will always depend on the weather and how often you have temperatures above the threshold that the switch turns on your heat cable. In most situations where heat cable is needed, savings will offset the cost of the ThermaCord and then some.
