RE: [DIY] Re: Heat tape

 

I think that tape is only for metal pipe.

My husband works at a rental store and a fellow brought in a section of heat tape that started a fire while wrapped around some PVC pipe under his house, it burned a small area of the wood structure and melted the PVC pipe which leaked and put out the fire. One lucky fellow!

But the reality of what could happen left an impression and the only way I would use that heat tape was if it was out in the open for some kind of livestock use.
My husband also watched an electric drill, plugged in but not in use, burst into flames while working in a car dealership many years ago. If it plugs in, it has the ability to burn. 
I don't even leave toasters plugged  in when I'm not using them.
Old and so cautious anymore,
carmen
