Both are designed for pressurized supply lines, but they differ in how the heating cable enters the pipe, how they adapt to pipe sizes, and how they affect water flow:

Entry Method

  • Y Fitting: Uses a Y-pipe with hose barbs sized for 3/4 in, 1 in, and 1-1/4 in pipes. Beyond 1-1/4 in, it becomes unsuitable because the 1 in throat creates a bottleneck.
  • T Fitting: Requires an additional T-pipe fitting and an adapter. With the adapter, it can accommodate a wider range of pipe sizes, making it more flexible.

Effect on Flow

  • Y Fitting: Maintains a straight flow path; no change in the water direction.
  • T Fitting: Alters the flow direction into an L-shape, since the cable enters through the side branch of the T.

Best For

  • Y Fitting: Quick installs on small to mid-sized pipes (≤1-1/4 in) where keeping a straight flow is important.
  • T Fitting: Larger or mixed pipe systems where you need more flexibility in pipe sizes and installation points, even if the flow path changes.

No, this in-pipe heating cable is not suitable for sharp bends like 90-degree or 45-degree elbows. If your pipe has such abrupt turns, you'll need to replace those sections with smoother, sweeping bends to allow the cable to pass through easily.

Yes, it can be used, but we also offer models specifically designed for those applications.

The key difference is:

  • In-Pipe Heating Cable – made for pressurized supply lines. It requires a copper fitting to withstand water pressure.
  • Drain / Sewer / Wastewater Systems – these are non-pressurized lines. For them, we recommend our In-Drain Heating Cables:
    In-Drain Heat Cable Max (for pipes > 2 in)
    In-Drain Heat Cable Mini (for pipes < 2 in)

These options are more purpose-built for drainage systems.

Yes, it can be used, but we also offer heating cables specifically designed for sewage and wastewater pipes. The main difference between this in-pipe cable and the dedicated version is that the latter is not as pressure-resistant. However, it works perfectly for open-ended sewage pipes or drainage channels, and it’s also more cost-effective.

A thermostat is not strictly required for this in-pipe heating cable, but it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Using a thermostat significantly reduces energy consumption by automatically controlling the heating, preventing the cable from constantly operating at full power. This not only saves electricity but also removes the need for manual operation and helps to prevent the water in the pipe from overheating.

Without a thermostat, the heating cable will stay on continuously, only adjusting its power level. Over time, the electricity savings from using a thermostat will easily outweigh the cost of purchasing one.

For this purpose, the YeloDeer Pipe Heating Controller is specifically designed to optimize the operation of in-pipe and on-pipe heating cables. It ensures the cable only heats when necessary, offering energy savings, automatic temperature control, and protection from overheating. The controller includes a temperature sensor and allows users to set precise temperature ranges, further enhancing energy efficiency and performance.

No, you generally do not need to reset the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) after a regular power outage. The GFCI only requires a manual reset if it detects a ground fault (leakage).

In the event of a standard power outage, the GFCI should not trip, and once the power is restored, the system should resume operation normally unless a ground fault is detected at that time.

No, the heating cable can be inserted without directional limitations. It works effectively in either direction, making it ideal for both water supply and drainage systems, no matter the direction of water flow.

Applicable for:

  • Supply Pipes: Pumping water from lakes or rivers.
  • Drainage Pipes: Removing water from inside your home.

Yes, this product is designed for use with pipes in 3/4-inch and above. However, please ensure there are no sections of your pipe, such as at fittings or connectors, where the inner diameter is reduced to less than 17mm (0.67 inches). If such restrictions exist, the heating cable may not fit properly.
