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

Hello John, yes, it will work on both metal and PVC pipes as well. I copied and pasted the information below about what the manufacture says about this heat tape: ***(From the Manufacturer UL and CSA approved electric pipe heating cable designed to prevent water line freeze up. Ready to install, grounded cord and plug, thermostat controlled, with pilot light. Recommended for use on metal and rigid plastic pipes. Exclusive Press-To-Test button test cable before installing! The built-in thermostat turns cable on at 38F. Reliable low wattage design uses up to 70% less energy than other cables and protects to -50F! )*** I hope this helps answer your question! :)

I really do not think it gets hot enough to ruin PVC - the heat trace does not get as hot as domestic hot water 120-140 degrees, so I can not imagine any damage and it does not operate all the time only when the temp drops - good luck

Mine is on pvc outside (patio) and this is the second year of use, no problems.

According to manufacturer's info on package, it can be used on PVC pipe. They recommend wrapping with insulation to hold in the heat, however in the case of PVC pipe, I would not seal it off at either end for fear that it would retain too much heat.

It will work fine. I have mine wrapped around 3/4" schedule 40 PVC that supplies water to my irrigation system

No. This will not bend conduit / hollow metal pipe. It will only bend solid metal.

Yes. I used it in buried PVC pipes. It is supposed to be capable of direct burial but I wanted it protected.

I use this product on a outside sprinkler junction with pvc pipe. It works well. I really not sure about the use you are suggesting. It is rather inexpensive, and you could try! Good luck

Yes it is safe for PVC pipes but make sure you run a lot of water through them after using. Hope this helps.

I have never tried mine on a pvc pipe or fitting. I would not buy one just for this unless the pipe is almost impossible to replace. I have used mine to repair plastic parts that are expensive to replace or no longer made. The welder is great for the jobs I have used it for but I have not used it to repair a pipe that would be subject to water or air pressure.

I don't think so. It's more for plastics and fiberglas. I have never tried it on metal, but, I don't think this is the product for that job.

The drill has the power enough to work on metal as long as its not too thick/hard. The trick is using the right drill bit (for metal). Hope this help.

As long as the metal parts are not aluminum it will work. Do not use if there is any chance of it coming in contact with aluminum as it will corrode it.

PVC would be possible, but I have not used it for that material. I would recommend it for metal though

I use it on all metal to metal household and sport equipment and autos... never had any problems.

This works on pipes and angle iron, as long as it can roll easily. I even us it on 3/4" hydraulic hose (stiff hose)

Although I've never tried it on metal, it should work fine because this wipe-on poly is oil-based and not water-based. A water-based wipe-on poly will cause the metal to rust, but an oil-based one shouldn't.

It has worked on any metal or plastic I have tried it on. Be sure that the area of repair is properly cleaned.

I would think that this blade can dur plastic conduits. For metal conduits I would use the diamond blade. Understand that you will have to go around the conduit if the conduit is much bigger than 1/2".
