Does it make the connection water proof like a heat shrink connector?

Not really because its tape if you are looking for a "marine grade connector" that is different. there is a bit of glue inside of those that melts to give a waterproof seal. This is more for connecting loose wires for example in a car / cars wire harness. That said, if you were looking for a water resistant seal, if applied properly, I don't see how water would get in once heat was applied and it shrunk

The only thing we've found that isn't water proof is the connectors. Once we found this continuous strand and secured the connectors away from the weather, we stopped having problems. We're pretty happy with this!

Yes it is, Just make sure your connections are water proof, I used very small shrink tubing.

The unit is not designed for wet environments. It is designed for outdoor use. I would suggest that if you plan to have it in a location that will be more than just humid or damp, you should consider a different unit. I have mine for generator hookup. I have used some sealer on the point where the cable enters the housing. Like any commercial connector that is not designed for submersion, you do not want the connector on wet soggy ground or in any standing water. It should be elevated and protected from rain, sleet, snow and other water. I would say the same for any plug system.

When I first got it I tested the water resistance and yes it worked to keep water out but the problem is it is very fragile so if you drop it once...chances are it won't be water proof anymore

I believe it's water resistant, but not waterproof. There are double rubber rings on each connection, but personally I wouldn't try and take it under water.

It is not water proof, but I use a sealant like petroleum jelly and have had no problems here in FL with moisture. I would think plumber' tape would also work well.

no, but the rubber the stretches out beyond both connectors does a good job of holding it together.

It is not terminated with a plug or socket that would render any connection completely waterproof. It is ruggedly constructed and has an indicator light in the socket to indicate a live voltage. Used with common-sense, it works work well outdoors.

it has been made water resistant to the best of their ability - rubber sealed and capped - if a device is plugged in, it will most likely loose some of that resistance.Hope this helps

It worked fine on the water line to my RV in 0 degree temp. I used pipe insulation over the water line & heat tape to keep everything clean. I did nothing else special.

No. It connects to a standard hose spigot outside. It can get hot if it gets direct sun - just so you're aware.

It's not waterproof if that's what you're asking, but otherwise YES. I bought it specifically to use on camping trips as an on-site electrical source and for inside my tent. Worked great! I even connected it to a longer extension cord at times. No heat output so that's good. Hope this helps!

No, ma'am. And the plastic adapter doesn't age well with use: each on/off reduces the watertight quality of the connection. And you need to be very careful that the adapter is included with your purchase. I had problems with one merchant when the text and photo included the adapter but it was a separate purchase.

I don't know. The heating pad inside the cover looks waterproof... Its thick flexible plastic sheeting but I'm not sure it would be waterproof where the cord connects.

I don't believe it should. It's made of brass and has two rubber rings to seal the connection.

To be safe this item is not listed anywhere in the instructions for wet locations. To answer your question, on the site where the cable enters there is a piece of rubber that has a small round hole in the middle to attempt to seal around the cable. This is similar to one you would buy at the depot. It is designed for outdoor use and I use mine to connect to a generator plug on the side of my house that goes to a transfer switch. I built a small housing around it to protect it from rain.
