Test Conditions:
About 12" of 1/2" AquaPEX tubing was capped at both ends and filled with water. A 12" strip of EasyHeat 2102 was applied in a straight line along the PEX tube with 3M electrical tape (per mfg indicated procedure). The heat tape was then connected to a fuse block (EasyHeat 10802).
The PEX tube and heat tape was then wrapped in 1/2" foam pipe insulation (trimmed for smaller diameter of PEX), wrapped in electrical tape and placed in the freezer overnight.
Temps were measured at ~ 17F
Energy consumption was 5W
After 10 hours the assembly was removed from the freezer and inspected. No frost was observed.
