The main rule - to ensure a snug fit the maximum heating cable to the pipe, the cable has to firmly screwed onto the pipe. It is in this case, the heat output of the cable pipe is maximal.

The second important ruleThat many neglect - due cleaning pipe. Since the pipe is necessary to remove all possible dirt: dust, rust, traces of welding. This is done in order to avoid damaging the cable.

To fix every 25-30 centimeters cable is attached to the pipe metallized tape or plastic collars. Moreover, if you pull the cable is not "spiral", as a direct stream, then we recommend place the cable in the lower part of the tube - there is the likelihood of freezing more.

Another nuance - Cable does not like sharp bends, So their installation is very important smoothness and uniformity.
