YeloDeer Heating Cables

Shield Your Pipes from Winter’s Worst
  • Is your home ready for winter's icy grip? Ensure your water pipes are safe from freezing with YeloDeer’s advanced pipe heating cables. Preventing your pipes from freezing not only protects them from damage but also ensures a steady water flow during the coldest months. Our pipe heating cables are an essential component of any reliable freeze protection system.
  • At YeloDeer, we offer two specialized options to meet your needs. Our self-regulating pipe heating cables automatically adjust their heat output based on the surrounding temperature, providing energy-efficient protection. Alternatively, our constant wattage cables deliver consistent warmth, offering an affordable and easy-to-install solution for your home.
  • For those looking for a more adaptable solution, we recommend YeloDeer’s in-pipe heating cable. Designed to be installed directly inside the pipe, this innovative option is ideal for locations where external cables are impractical. It provides reliable freeze protection with self-regulating technology, ensures efficient heat distribution, is safe for various pipe materials, and is easy to install without risking overheating.

With YeloDeer, you can confidently safeguard your pipes against winter’s harshest conditions, no matter which option you choose.

Absolutely! Our heat tape is a powerful solution to keep your pipes flowing smoothly, even in the harshest winter conditions. By using heat tape, you’re not just preventing your pipes from freezing—you’re safeguarding your home from potential disasters like burst pipes and costly water damage. For the ultimate winter defense, pair our heat tape with our Pipe Insulation Roll. Together, they create a fortress of protection around your pipes, giving you peace of mind all winter long!

Pipe heating cables, also known as heat trace or heat tape, are electric cables designed to be attached to pipes, ensuring that water continues to flow through poorly insulated pipes even in the harshest winter conditions.

Deciding between in-pipe and on-pipe installations might seem straightforward based on application, but each method has unique benefits. For more details, please check out our blog-- In-Pipe vs. On-Pipe Installation for Pipe Freeze-Protection

Not at all, as long as the installation is done correctly. That said, improper installation, usage, or maintenance of heating cables can result in fires, electric shocks, or frozen pipes. Especially when using constant wattage cables, it's crucial to avoid bending or overlapping the cables.

By securing a heating cable to the outside of a pipe, it effectively transfers heat to the pipe, preventing it from freezing. Adding pipe insulation ensures that the heat is distributed evenly and retained longer, reducing the risk of heat loss.

If you are using self-regulating heating cables (e.g., our Blue Cable and Yellow Cable):

ꔷ You can wrap the remaining cable around the insulated water pipe. Overlapping is not a concern since our heating cable is self-regulating, allowing for greater heat output and improved freeze protection.

ꔷ Alternatively, if you have electrical skills, you can DIY by cutting off the excess cable and re-sealing the cut end with a waterproof heating cable end cap or using 2-3 layers of heat shrink tubing for waterproofing.

If you are using constant wattage cables (e.g., our Red Cable):

ꔷ Leave the excess cable outside, ensuring it does not come into contact with flammable materials or cause burns. You can cover it with insulation for safety.

ꔷ Do not attempt to wrap the excess cable, as this can lead to overheating.

ꔷ If necessary, consider replacing it with a more appropriately sized cable. Under no circumstances should you cut or re-seal constant wattage cables, as this is not suitable for this type of heating cable.

This approach ensures optimal performance and safety for your heating system.
