taxidermist Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Most heat tapes have a black button, this is placed against the pipe. the tape is ran along the length of the pipe. when the temp drops enough the the black button that is the thermostat kicks the heat on. I had an outside facet freeze up two years in a row. I found the problem the wife had put a pile of old clothing ont he floor over the pipe. This insulated the heat from the floor. Once I removed the pile way back in the corner of her closet. the pipe thawed and was fine even in the -15F temps we had this year.
