What voltage is heat tape?

Heat tape is the product to use for applications where small, cylindrical sections need high power densities (which usually indicates high temperatures as well). Most heat tape is available on 120 V and 240 V versions, with power ranging from 52 W to 3,135 W.

How does electrical heat tape work?

You plug one end of the tape into an outlet and spiral-wrap the rest around a pipe. Modern tapes have a built-in thermostat that automatically calls for power (and the resulting heat) as the surrounding temperature drops near freezing and cuts power off as the temperature rises.

Can you use pipe heating cable on PVC?

If your building plumbing pipes are plastic, such as PVC water piping, use only pipe heat tape that has an automatic thermostat to control the heat tape temperature. Otherwise a very hot heating tape may damage the piping or even cause a leak.
