I used heat tape for 30 years never overlap the tape it will burn itself and then can catch on fire
I have used heat tape in homes and mobile homes for years. Wrap your heat tape around the pipe leaving about 3/4 to 1 in space between wraps. Once finished, put the pipe insulation over top. I prefer the yellow fiberglass insulation over the foam. I just feel it works better. Installed like this heat tape is safe snd works very well.
I would ask somebody from Menards who sells the stuff to my knowledge it works well and has not been a danger in our house
If you use heat tape be shure when you. Wrap it around the pipe don't overlap it and it will be safe
You put pipe foam around them to wrap this and also put heat tape on them first and the wrap them
I never had any problem with heat tape I've been using them for 20 years or better maybe 30
We've used heat tape for years and years, never had a problem
