Heat Tape Tee & Splice Kit FAQs

What is the Heat Tape Tee & Splice Kit used for?

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.

Can I use this kit with heat tape from other manufacturers?

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.

How many connections can I make with one kit?

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.

Is this kit difficult to install?

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.

Can I use this kit to repair damaged heat tape?

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.

What's included in the Heat Tape Tee & Splice Kit?

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.

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

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.

Is this kit safe and certified for use?

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.

Can I create multiple branches from one connection point?

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.

What size heat tape does this work with?

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.

General FAQs

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. 

Totally.

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.

No. Pipe Freeze PRO is not designed for use in outdoor conditions.

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.

No. It is not recommended to use Pipe Freeze Pro inside of pipes.

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.

Can Pipe Freeze Pro get wet?

Yes and no. The cable is approved for exposure to wet conditions but you should keep the thermostat dry for proper operation.

Does the thermostat/sensor need to be touching the Pipe?

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.

Should the thermostat be under the insulation?

No. You want the thermostat to react to the cold environment so it triggers the Pipe Freeze Pro to turn on.
