- JeremyFantastic product, Indicator light is great!Fantastic product, works as described. Helps keep my water manifolds at a site less prone to freezing when the weather gets colder. Love that they have a power indicator when in use and the thermostat seems to be spot on when I've been using it with our plumbing.
- The DukeInstall properly to avoid fire.They work well. My pipes freeze each winter, but not this year with the cables. I did have about 4 extra inches of lead on my cold water line. The cable does not double up on itself, and I put fire proof plating below it in the unlikely even that it were to sag to the wood when it got hot. I am very pleased with this product.
- MichaelHappy CustomerWorks great. Our well kept freezing up, no longer a problem. I also combined this with the frost king insulation.
I would suggest reading the installation booklet. I see some review pics where the heat tape was obviously installed wrong. (You are not supposed to coil it around the pipe) Plus the black sensor is to be placed against the pipe. - Tex4meGreat product I used it before works grestI’ve used these before very reliable and works great but had to return this one I ordered the wrong size my bad
- J. G.Good quality product.I live in Frazier Park and my plumber said I need to replace my heat strip on my water line. It was easy to install and is a good quality product, I recommend buying it and it is reasonably priced. I have used other Frost King products and I have never been disappointed .
- Art VanderlayNo freezingThe right item for a sometime frozen outside hose pipe. The fit is perfect as needed and it’s automatic.
- ScanoePerforms well, not an adjustable length so measure accurately of what length Frost King you needVery good heat kit.
I used to use the Frostex heat kit, used them for many years, but there expensive and their controller cannot get wet.
This Frost King is waterproof which is a big plus.
This Frost King does Not have an adjustable wire length, you could cut the Frostex to fit but not these Frost Kings, so get an accurate measurement of what length you need. I had installed a 12-foot Frost King but it turned out to be too long, I had to remove it and install this 9 footer. - MajicProduct works wellEasy to use and easy to install. Temps hit single digits within a week of installation and it worked great!
