Internal Pipe Heating

For Water Supply Lines (In‑Pipe)

Potable Water 230 PSI Max CSA Certified Food-Grade Jacket GFCI Protection

For potable water, well water, cabin water lines, farm water lines, RV water lines, and other water supply pipes.

Note: Use on pipes larger than 3/4 in. Avoid sharp 90° elbows or tight bends inside the pipe; smooth, gradual bends are acceptable.

For Drain & Sewer Lines (In‑Pipe)

Wastewater Drain Lines Sewer Systems Septic Lines Low-Pressure Options

For drain lines, sewer lines, septic lines, sump discharge lines, condensate drains, and wastewater pipes.

Note: For wastewater, sewer, septic, condensate, and low-pressure drain lines only.

Controllers & Accessories

Temperature Control Pipe Fittings Installation Support
Note: Match the controller to your cable voltage and load, and choose fittings for your pipe size and installation.

Which In-Pipe Heating Cable Should You Choose?

The first two models are pressure-rated for potable water. The last two are for open or vented, non-pressurized drain systems. Use the details below to choose the correct entry style and cable construction.

Feature Potable-Water In-Pipe Cable T-Fitting Entry Potable-Water In-Pipe Cable Y-Fitting Included Heavy-Duty Sewer Heating Cable Reinforced · Integrated GFCI Compact Drain Heating Cable Economical · No Integrated GFCI
Best For Pressurized drinking-water, well, cabin, and farm water lines where a separately sourced T-fitting is preferred. Pressurized drinking-water lines where the included Y-fitting provides a smoother angled entry. Longer sewer, septic, sump-discharge, and wastewater lines with demanding internal conditions. Shorter HVAC condensate, furnace, gray-water, and small open drain lines.
Application Type Potable Water Up to 230 PSI CSA Potable Water Up to 230 PSI CSA Sewer / Septic Wastewater Non-Pressurized Condensate Small Drain Non-Pressurized
Pipe Size 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, and 2 in. 3/4, 1, and 1-1/4 in. Recommended for 2 in and larger sewer or drain pipes. Recommended for open drain lines under 2 in, subject to the actual internal opening.
Entry / Fitting T-entry configuration. Compatible T-fitting and hose barb must be purchased separately. Y-fitting is included. A compatible hose barb must still be purchased separately. Insert through an accessible open pipe end, cleanout, or suitable drain opening. Insert directly through an accessible open pipe end.
Cable Length Select the required factory-finished length. Do not cut or shorten in the field. Select the required factory-finished length. Do not cut or shorten in the field. Up to 180 ft as one continuous cable from a single power connection. Up to 75 ft for shorter drain and condensate runs.
Heat Output 3W/ft self-regulating cable. 3W/ft self-regulating cable. 5W/ft self-regulating cable. 3W/ft or 5W/ft, depending on the selected variant.
GFCI / Protection CSA certified with integrated GFCI protection. CSA certified with integrated GFCI protection. Integrated GFCI on standard 120V models. Do not add a second GFCI-protected outlet. No integrated GFCI. Required ground-fault protection must be provided separately.
Cable / Installation Food-grade cable for potable-water use. Choose this model when broader pipe-size compatibility is needed. Food-grade cable for potable-water use. Angled Y-entry can simplify insertion where the layout allows. Thicker, firmer 0.42 × 0.20 in cable is easier to advance through longer, relatively straight routes. Compact 0.31 × 0.19 in cable for shorter, lighter-duty drain applications.
Choose This If You need potable-water freeze protection, up to 230 PSI, and compatibility with pipe sizes through 2 in. You need potable-water freeze protection and prefer an included Y-fitting with a smoother entry angle. Your drain is 2 in or larger, exceeds 75 ft, contains wastewater, or needs a reinforced cable with built-in GFCI. Your open drain is under 2 in and no longer than 75 ft, and you want the more economical option.
Do Not Use For Non-potable wastewater, incompatible fittings, pipes below 3/4 in, or routes with sharp elbows and blockages. Pipe sizes above 1-1/4 in, non-potable wastewater, or routes with sharp elbows and blockages. Potable-water supply lines, sealed pressurized plumbing, or blocked routes with restrictive bends. Potable-water supply lines, pressurized or sealed piping, heavy sewer conditions, or runs over 75 ft.
★
Quick selection: Choose T-entry for the widest potable-water pipe-size range; choose Y-entry when you want the Y-fitting included; choose the heavy-duty sewer model for wastewater, built-in GFCI, or runs up to 180 ft; choose the compact drain model for economical freeze protection in smaller open drains up to 75 ft.
