2. Pre-Installation Planning

a. Pipe and Location Requirements
Use on water-filled metal or plastic (including PEX) supply pipes only. Do not use for anything else, such as drain
lines, empty water pipes, fuel lines, steam lines, hoses, gutters, etc. Pipes must be at least 3 feet long and at least ⅜"
and no more than 1 ½" in diameter.
Use only in appropriate locations:
• The cable must be in an accessible location. Do not install in walls, floors, or ceiling.
• The cable must not be buried or come in contact with the ground.
• Do not install where another heat source might overheat the cable.
• Combustible material (such as cellulose or other combustible insulation, paper, or wood) must not be within one
inch of the pipe.
b. Selecting the Correct Cable Model(s)
Check that you have selected the correct model(s) of heating cable for the pipe to be protected. Some pipes may
require two cables. Verify your pipe length and that it falls within the range marked on the product package.
If your pipe is not in the specified range or when using two cables, enter the measured pipe length into the cable
selection calculator at www.easyheat.com (mobile device compatible) or call 800.562.6587 and use the exact model(s)
specified. See Appendix A: Determining Which Cable You Need for details.
c. Electrical Requirements
The cable requires a 120V electrical receptacle that is properly grounded
and protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• If your circuit does not have a GFCI, you can have one installed or
use a GFCI portable cord.
• If an extension cord is needed, use a grounded, approved cord suitable for outdoor
service.
• For outdoor electrical connections, use a weatherproof in-use receptacle if needed to
keep the circuit dry.
• Do not overload the circuit. This heating cable will consume 5 amps or less of electricity;
see cord tag for the exact current (amps) drawn by your model.
