MAXKOSKO 6 Ft. 120V Heating Cable for Pipe Freeze Protection – Self-Regulating Heat Tape for Water Pipes

Overview

The MAXKOSKO 6 ft heating cable is designed to guard water pipes against freezing in cold conditions. This self-regulating heat tape provides steady warmth where needed, helping to maintain water flow in both residential and commercial settings. Built with a compact 5 W per foot design, it delivers dependable performance while avoiding excessive heat buildup.

How it works

The cable automatically activates when temperatures fall to 38 °F, then eases off as conditions rise. A 3 ft power cord is included for flexible plug placement. The heat tape can be laid straight, spiraled, or overlapped to fit a range of pipe layouts without guesswork.
