Pipe Freeze Pro

Protect Pipes from Freezing

Pipe Heat Tape Kit to Protect Your Pipes from Freezing down to -40ºF: Dry Locations Only

Pipe Freeze Pro is an 8mm self-regulating heat cable that generates 3-5watts per foot, making it a perfect choice for typical indoor residential pipe freeze prevention projects. The built-in thermostat triggers the cable to turn on at 37ºF and off at 50ºF, which prevents wasting unnecessary electricity by only energizing the cable when it’s needed. Pipe Freeze Pro can be overlapped without risk of shorting or fire.

No need for a ThermaCord: PipeFreezePRO has a built-in thermostat

Product Details

Pipe Freeze Pro

Dry Locations Only

Our Plug-in Pipe Freeze heat tape Kit is designed for residential and commercial pipe freeze protection on pipes made from both metal (copper & steel) and plastic (ABS, PVC, PEX). Our cables are self-regulating, so they only ask for the power they need to heat the pipe above freezing. This saves you a lot of money in the long run by not wasting electricity like constant wattage Pipe Trace heat tape. Kits include heat tape, high-temp fiberglass tape to affix cable to pipe, awesome installation manual and electric warning labels.

Simply plug the cable into any GFCI 120V receptacle (can also be plugged into a standard outlet as long as the circuit is GFCI protect). Pipe Freeze Pro details:

    • Self-Regulating , Includes a built-in Thermostatic Switch to control power to heat tape – The cable Automatically turns on and off, then regulates its temperature and power consumption, optimizing for the surrounding temperature. This uses less energy and save you money. The built-in thermostatic switch has a 4ºF +/- temperature sensitivity.
    • Since temperatures modulate, Pipe Freeze Pro will not overheat, or pose a risk of fire like other heat tape. Pipe Freeze Pro can overlap and touch itself. Standard heat tape can not do this.
    • Produces 3 watts per foot (at 50ºF) and 5 watts per foot (at 32ºF) and below.
    • Suitable for metal or plastic pipes up to 6″ for pipe heat tracing applications.
    • 40″ Cold lead plug-in cord
    • UL listed for use in Dry Locations
    • 10-year manufacturer’s warranty

IMPORTANT NOTES: Pipe Freeze Pro is not designed to thaw already frozen pipes, for exposure to wet environments, for installation inside pipes and drains or for burial. You must cover heat cable with insulation for it to work. Do not use this cable for applications other than pipe freeze protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no difference.

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 Coils & Heating Coils – Heat Tape has been called this because of the way the zig-zag pattern looks like a heating coil-element (like inside of a toaster)
  • Gutter Trace – Heat Tape get’s called this because of the usage in and around gutters
Here’s a handy guide that explains the steps of measuring so you know which length of heat tape to get.

Measuring the area of your roof that is affected by ice dams so you know how much heat tape to get is not overly complex, but it does have a few variables. Use our Heat Tape Measuring Guide to understand the process and print a worksheet that you can use to make sure you have all the right numbers.

Once you have all the measurements and considerations you need, use our Heat Tape Calculator to calculate the size of heat tape you should get.

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.

You can install Heat Tape on pretty much any type of roof.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Asphalt Shingle
  • Cedar Shakes and Shingles
  • Slate
  • Spanish Tile
  • Metal
  • Flat Roofs (EPDM, TPO, Sprayed Urethane, etc.)

The type of roof you have determines the roof clips and accessories needed. Check out our Heat Tape Installation Accessories.
