Technical Specifications
WARNING: Do not spiral cable around pipe
or cross cable over itself. Do not use one
run of cable for two different pipe runs. Failure
to comply may result in overheating and fire.

Stop Pipe Freeze-up
Electric Water Pipe Freeze Protection Cable
Frost King, the leader in residential pipe freeze protec-
tion, presents the HC Series pipe heating system. Pre-assem-
bled and ready-to-install, the cable prevents pipes from freez-
ing, keeping water flowing to —40°. Using an energy-saving
thermostat, HC cables operate on 120 Volts AC and are suit-
able for use on water-filled plastic and metal pipes.
This system can be installed with the confidence that it will
operate for years without requiring service. All components
are made of the highest quality materials and are tested
during critical points in the manufacturing process.

INDICATOR LIGHT
The HC system includes
a power indi cator light
in the plug for assur-
ance that the system has
power.
The HC Series system is easy to buy and to install, engi neered
in 3-foot increments (up to 18 feet) to accommodate many pipe
lengths with diameters up to 1½ inches. Simply run the cable
straight along the pipe and valves according to the included
instructions, affix with our premium application tape and insula-
tion, then plug into a ground fault protected electrical outlet.
When it comes to pipe freeze protection, Frost King is the cable
of choice.
SIMPLE TO INSTALL
This system requires no special wiring or assembly. Simply
run cable straight along pipe and valves according to instruc-
tions in package, affix with premium application tape, insu-
late, and plug into a ground fault protected electrical outlet.
HOW MUCH CABLE WILL YOU NEED?
This cable comes in standard 3-foot increments (up to 30 feet),
so you’ll need to know two key dimensions to select the right
package: the length of the pipe run, including valves, to be
heated and the diameter of the pipe.
For pipe 3/4” in diameter or less, round pipe length down
to the nearest 3-foot increment. So, 7 feet of pipe would
require a 6-foot cable; 11 feet of pipe would use a 9-foot
cable.

For pipe diameters from
3
/4 to 1
1
/2 inches, match the pipe length as closely as possible to the cable length.
For odd pipe lengths, use two cables with a combined length no more than 3 feet longer than the pipe
run. *Start cables from opposite ends of the pipe and run along opposite sides with overrun in the center.
