YeloDeer In Pipe Heating Cable, Internal Self-regulating Heat Trace Cable for Safe Drinking Water, 3W/Ft

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, this in-pipe heating cable is designed to work with sweeping, gradual bends. As long as the pipe does not have sharp turns requiring 90-degree or 45-degree fittings, the cable will navigate through the bends without any problems.

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.

While insulation is not strictly required, it is highly recommended, especially for above-ground installations exposed to outdoor air. Insulation significantly reduces heat loss and lowers the energy consumption of the YeloDeer In-Pipe Heating Cable. For buried pipes, there is no need to dig up the pipe to add insulation.

When choosing insulation, it’s important to select a material suited for the installation environment. Closed-cell polyethylene insulation sleeves are commonly used and are highly effective.

It is recommended to place the plug end inside a building, where it can easily connect to the power supply. This location offers better protection from rain and other environmental risks.

The self-regulating heating cable is designed to adjust its output based on the surrounding temperature, so whether it's above or below freezing is not a concern. In colder conditions, it generates more heat, while in warmer areas, it produces less. Additionally, the cable is rated for use in temperatures as low as -40°C/-40°F, ensuring durability even in extreme cold.
