FAQ
What is a heating cable used for?
A heating cable prevents water pipes, taps, and drains from freezing in cold temperatures. It maintains a safe temperature along the pipe by automatically heating when the temperature drops, reducing the risk of bursting pipes and frost damage.
Which heating cable do I need?
The right heating cable depends on the length and location of the pipe you need to protect. For exposed outdoor pipes, choose a cable with a built-in thermostat for automatic control. Always ensure the cable matches the pipe’s material and intended use (e.g. drinking water pipes or waste pipes).
How do I install a heating cable safely and securely?
Attach the heating cable along the length of the pipe using suitable clips or tape. Avoid overlapping the cable, and follow the installation instructions carefully. Plug the cable into a protected outdoor socket, ensuring it is positioned to avoid mechanical damage and water exposure.
