Can this heat cable be used on 1/2" plastic water pipe?

Yes. We have over 1000 feet of pipe that is protected by it. You have to insulate the pipe with a proper insulating blanket to allow the defrost to take place and or protection from frost. Highly recommend this particular product.

Yes you can. Our service men use it with PEX piping without any issues.Thanks

Use this on pipe that has an outside diameter of 2". This flexible tube fits over the the 2" OD vacuum pipe.

It will not hurt PVC pipes. I would wrap the pipe with aluminum foil first to help spread out the heat

I was able to use 1-1/2" PVC by using a dremel to reduce the diameter of the black plastic end cap. The expansion rollers themselves easily allow a 1-1/2" pipe, but the black end cap was about 1-3/4". I have muslins that are sewn with a 1-1/2" loop at the top, so this was the best solution for me.

That is the external diameter of the hose, the ends are narrower so I don't think that will work. You need to use 1.5" pvc connectors, pretty cheap at home Depot.

Do not use 1/2 inch pipes, you will get better results with the wider pipe. Do not use plastic/PVC piping, use copper.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I measured the interior diameter of the threads and it measured 1 1/8 inches. The adapter is, of course soldered on the water pipe.

it will fit any hot water heater with one and one quarter inch pipe thread fittings just as long as the element does not touch the backside of a small water heater

No: the exterior threads would fit into a coupling for a 1/2 inch pipe, but not into a 1/2 inch pipe.

1 1/2" is the size I used but I had to use a adapter to reduce it to a 1 1/4" to hook into my old black plastic pipe that goes through the wall and leads outside.

They sit inside the end fitting of the hose, and all of the hoses have the same sized end fittings so that they will work with the typical standard residential water faucet that comes out of the exterior house wall. So a 1/2" hose has the same size end fitting as a 3/4" hose. So you should be able to use it with any size residential hose.

I used the same size (1/2) for a pvc 1/2 with some couplers and works ok. Read a little more. I think ABS pipe is not for water feeding.

I don't think so. Its flexible pipe is designed to be fixed to a threaded water supply pipe. I think the ones that you get for the spout in the tub have a different diameter than this one. Maybe if you used an adapter it might work, but I would advise against it.

The fittings on the water heater are 3/4 inch, the 1 inch pipe will need to be reduced to 3/4 inch to fit, Home Depot will help you, just ask!!

You certainly can! Just keep the cable out of the water(especially where it connects to the probe). I also suggest using a dremel cutter to make a 3/8" long slit at the top of the cooking chamber rim to run the cable through to avoid crimping when you put the lid on. FWIW: The pic with the 4 therms on the product page is mine. : )

ABS is BLACK plastic pipe & ONLY used for DWV (drain, waste, vent). Since it's 1/2 inch I assume you mean CPVC, since PVC is not rated for indoor plumbing (That's the WHITE plastic you use for sprinkler system) If it's BEIGE plastic pipe you probably have CPVC, why not JUST STICK with CPVC fittings? Are you talking new construction or remodel?? If you have "PVC" pipe run through your house by a "handyman" rip it out. It wont last (esp for HOT water) EDIT TO ADD: The above Crimps wont work with CPVC, it's a hard pipe. PEX is soft pipe like rubber tubing.

You would need to cut out the copper pipe and use a shark bite type connector. So to answer the question, no. This is only for pex piping.
