Combine two separate lengths of Field Assembled Heat Tape, or Augment your heat tape configuration to make a 3-way, sealed junction with the Heat Tape Splice and Tee Kit. If you have an ice dam prevention configuration that requires you to splice heat tape, or you need your heat tape to go off in 3-directions, use this kit with your hard-wired heat tape to achieve this configuration.
Heat Tape Splice and Tee Kit works with all 10mm-13mm Self-Regulating Heat Tape / De-Icing Cable. When using with cable not manufactured by Radiant Solutions, refer to cable guidelines and instructions.
“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.”

The lets you create custom heat tape configurations by either splicing two separate lengths of heat tape together or creating a 3-way tee junction. It's perfect when you need to branch your heat tape in multiple directions from a single power source, or when you need to repair a damaged section of heat tape.
Yes, the kit works with any 10mm-13mm self-regulating heat tape or de-icing cable. However, it's designed specifically for Radiant Solutions Heat Tape Spools, so for best results and to ensure warranty coverage, we recommend using it with our products.
Each kit contains enough materials to make one splice or one tee connection. If you need multiple connections, you'll need to purchase additional kits.
The installation requires some basic electrical work, but it's straightforward if you follow the included instructions. The kit comes with detailed installation guidelines. If you're not comfortable with electrical connections, we recommend having a qualified electrician or one of our professional installers handle the installation.
Absolutely. One of the main uses for this kit is splicing heat tape back together when it's been damaged. This can save you from having to replace an entire length of heat tape due to a small damaged section.
The kit includes all the materials needed for one connection: splice connectors, heat shrink tubing, sealing materials, and detailed installation instructions. Everything you need to create a professional, weatherproof connection.
You'll need basic electrical tools including wire strippers, a heat gun or hair dryer for the heat shrink tubing, and standard hand tools. The specific tool requirements are listed in the installation manual included with the kit.
Yes, the kit is UL certified for use in both the United States and Canada. When installed according to our instructions, it creates a safe, weatherproof connection that meets electrical safety standards.
This kit creates either a 2-way splice or a 3-way tee connection. If you need more complex branching with additional splits, you would need multiple kits to create the configuration you need.
The kit is designed for 10mm-13mm self-regulating heat tape and de-icing cable. This covers most standard residential and commercial heat tape applications. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific heat tape, give us a call at 952-444-2044 and we'll help you confirm.
We keep them in stock and ship same day from Minnesota, don’t ‘cha know. (Assuming you don’t order too late in the day!). Orders placed over the weekend will ship the next business day.

Yes. The splice/repair kit allows you to reconnect cut sections safely.
PipeFreezePRO comes with one or more 30ft rolls of high-quality fiberglass tape, but you can use any tape with a temperature rating of 150º F and above. Self-adhesive aluminum foil tape can be used but avoid standard tapes, including electrical tape and duct tape because they lose their adhesion when exposed to heat. Remember, it’s imperative to cover the pipe/heat tape assembly with pipe insulation (1/2″ minimum thickness). Think four easy steps: 1) cable on pipe, 2) tape on cable, 3) insulation on pipe/cable and 4) tape on insulation.
Pipe Freeze PRO can be overlapped during installation. This is a fundamental advantage of self-regulating heat cable over cheap, constant wattage cable found in hardware stores is that it can be overlapped without risk of shorting out or catching fire. So yes, overlap away!
The amount of heat cable needed for pipe freeze prevention is determined by a couple of simple factors including: Length of pipe, diameter of pipe, distance to power supply and number of valves.
Most of the time, we do not recommend a spiral cable application because it’s simply not necessary. It requires 3x the cable to do the same job.
Therefore, simply use a straight, single run of cable affixed to the bottom of the pipe (think 6 o’clock position) using the provided fiberglass installation tape. Next, add 1 foot of cable for every valve because you will be wrapping the valve with cable. For pipes less than 1″ in diameter, a single cable run is sufficient. For larger pipes, two cable runs are recommended. Keep in mind that plastic pipes are less thermally conductive so you may choose to use two cable runs on larger plastic pipes to be safe. Finally, if your outlet isn’t close to the pipe you are treating, factor in enough heat cable to reach your outlet (Pipe Freeze PRO does come with a 36″ power cord).
Finally, you must install insulation on your pipe and heat cable assembly in order for the system to operate effectively. See instructions for further details.
The cable can be exposed to wetness but the thermostat must stay dry to function properly. Use Pipe Freeze PRO for pipe freeze prevention applications only.
Consider using Heat Tape Pro inside of open drain pipes as that cable is rated for use in wet areas.

Pipe Freeze Pro’s integrated thermostat turns power on and off automatically to the cable to save electricity. The thermostat is the lump located between the power cord and the heat cable. The thermostat triggers the cable to turn on at 37ºF and off at 50ºF, with a sensitivity range of +/- 4ºF. It’s a great feature that makes Pipe Freeze Pro unique among heat cables on the market.
Yes and no. The cable is approved for exposure to wet conditions but you should keep the thermostat dry for proper operation.
No. The thermostat need only be exposed to cold air. It does not hurt to have the thermostat attached to the pipe but it is not necessary. If you choose to attach it to the pipe keep in mind that the thermostat should not be covered with insulation.
No. You want the thermostat to react to the cold environment so it triggers the Pipe Freeze Pro to turn on.
