Freeze protection heaters

[ernieekberg@...>]

Alex- if these is only 1 wire, I don't know why that can't be just wire nutted
together. Ernie-83PT40 in Wyoming

There are 2 of those pipe wire heaters which plug into 110v outlet under the
bath vanity in my Bird. I had to cut one wire to repair a copper tubing leak.
Can the wire be spliced back?
Any help appreciate.

wires that run who knows where? Both my birds had those and I was afraid to plug
those in because, 1- didn't know if they worked, 2- did previous owners cut
those somewhere, and 3- after 24 years- deterioration of those wires could
possibly start a fire. So- I have removed most of those wires when I was adding
my pex tubing last summer. Ernie-83PT40 in -4 Wyoming

Ernie & Group,

My 82 PT doesn't have any of the heaters that you describe. Wish that
it did. All I have are some old Frostex heat tapes. Plugged one in a
while back & it immediately burned the plug off the end of the tape. No
heat tapes plugged in anymore.
