STEP 1 COLLECT THE FOLLOWING
NECESSARY INFORMATION
• outside diameter
• Lowest expected air temperature
(disregard windchill: it has been
figured into theLength Selection chart)
• Number of valves and spigots
• Distance from pipe to electrical outlet
• NEVER use nails, metal clamps, wires or other devices that might cut
the cable to support the cable along the pipe.
• Only use ½" or 1" vinyl or fiberglass tape to attach cable to pipe.
• Inspect the FreezedFree Cable for damage EACH TIME you plug it in.
If left plugged in all year, inspect it AT LEAST once a year or ANY time
you have reason to suspect damage.
