I just taped or tie wrapped it to bottom of pipe,was an electrician all my life and that is the correct way to do it,after you put it in get some cheap black pipe insulation at Home Depot and insulate it,have a line going to my garage,put a 6' piece at house and took it down 3 ft. in to dirt,same o garage side and I have never blown the copper line,ran thousands of feet of this stuff and it will even keep a downspout from freeing when you get the waterproof stuff and put it in the drain,low wattage too so your bill is not high.

Don't get it too wet the electronics inside rust I used it under my awning for over a year no problems you can point it on a angle down away from cloth the awning helps hold the heat I use two of them on a 20 amp circuit with no problem

Normally keep the hoses down. The important thing is not to stretch the hose and there should be no kinks or sharp bends.

i have not figured that one out yet, what i have been thinking of doing is place a small submersible heater in the 5 Gal water bucket or if you come off a spicket you could use a heat tape then wrap it with foam insulation and gorilla tape.hope this helps you.

That sounds like a really BAD idea. First of all, if your bores are so dirty that you felt inclined to put a power tool in them they must be really bad. Second, copper lead and brass are very soft metals, but I wouldn't put any other metals at high speed through my barrels.

I did not use this product in an area that had an excess of water near or covering the Mortite Caulk rope.. I would test it first if it were me.

The statement was probably written by their lawyers to avoid problems with PVC piping. I use these on PVC in my irrigation system and on hydraulic controls on my tractor with success. I wrap the pipes and the heat tapes with aluminum foil then pipe wrap insulation to disperse the heat and to avoid losing the heat to the environment. I'm not sure I would put up with the risk of shorts and subsequent fire for an in house application. Peter

Not sure, but I wouldn't think that is a great option. Have you considered using heat-shrinkable tubing?

Yes. I used it to stuff in around wires in conduit to keep mice from getting into the junction box. I had used steel wool but the damp area caused it to rust out. The copper will solve this problem and you should work for you too.

Try using black pipe insulation on bars for replacements . And crank down hard on holding arms so there is no friction.

I don't think so. It is a porous wrap, like an ace compression bandage with volcanic stone in it. And after you wrap your pipes with a 50% overlap there is not much room for air to travel. It does retard the heat. No more burnt legs. My pipes are still hot, but my skin doesn't come off any more.

My water line is heavy gauge black plastic and this product is fine for the application if covering the pipe from the ground to where the line enters the insulated floor of my home. The application is pretty specific. ..follow the directions carefully. Good luck. Sam

I'm not sure for certain; however, this is an ALL PLASTIC item so the temperature alone would probably damage it. I would think the salt water application would be okay, assuming you flushed it with fresh water after use. I think you're going to need a more expensive "all brass" water meter for your particular application.

The whole item is made of plastic, so water should be no problem. Rain would have to blow horizontal through the opening in order to get in the crawl space, but have never seen that done or heard of it being a problem before.

Foam insulation is fine. We have used it on pex with no issues, but you need constant water in pipe. (Do not use on drain lines it will melt the plastic)

A half inch is probably too much. The product is flexible but I don't believe that would work. The product does slide a little bit with use also. The quarter inch part would work perfectly. The product doesn't cost a lot. You could give it a try. You might consider some tub sealer. That product will pull right off when the time comes to move the range. It come in white, tan and brown.
