Can cable be looped (without contacting a pipe) to install it on adjacent pipe runs &amp; (doubled) up &amp; back down short "T" pipes as a continuous cable?

I did not read anywhere in instructions that you can't. We have done that on over 20 additions for last 3 years with no issues. We have pex hot/cold for a sink , pex hose bib and copper ice maker line. They all are looped together with same cable.

Yes it can be installed to go any length you want it. You can wrap extra cable around tree to shorten

I put mine in conduit. My guess is you would get twice the life of regular cable. If it is long term conduit is not that expensive!

I've never tried, but I don't see why two couldn't be connected. There would be a straight area between the coils where the connectors are. Be aware that although this is a 50-foot hose, the coil doesn't quite unwind all the way and you will have less than 100 feet if you combine them. Also, have you considered how you will store it? I keep my one hose coiled up in a large flower pot and there is very little tangle, but I'm not sure how I would keep a double unless it were laid out straight behind the shrubbery.

You could run a very thin cable though the holes. I've thought about this myself, and wondered how would I keep the cable from coming back through? Make a loop then clamp maybe? I suppose you could drill the holes bigger or add holes with a heavy duty drill and bit, but I personally would not tamper with a high quality safe like this.

You can use the connecting cables to daisy chain them with space between or you can connect them as a continuous strip.

Yes. See directions. You simply send a loop down the downspout and continue on through the gutter or up on the roofline. The loop is held apart from itself by clips you put every foot or so. **Be sure to double the length of your downspout when estimating the length you need as it will go down and back up the downspout.**

Yes you can, there is enough cable if you attach the rope to the chain that comes with it.

The instructions say, "Do not install the same cable on more than one pipe. This could cause the heating cable to overheat and may result in fire or electrical shock." Still, one would think it would overheat only if one pipe were significantly different from the other in terms of size or temperature exposure.

Cable is attached to unit and does not separate .must be installed with cable .

Yes. Installation to the terminals can be with or without crimping the wires to a ring fastener (to ensure a secure fit to the cable terminals). Hope this helps.

There is nothing stopping you from trying that but my guess is that it will not work. I did that (used a splitter backwards) some years ago and, after discovering that it was worse than just twisting wires together, gave up on the idea until I found the Channel Plus Splitter/Combiner. Unlike a "Y" in a hose or pipe, electronics is not necessarily bidirectional unless designed to be that way; hence most are called simply "splitters" and few are called "combiners" or "splitter/combiner."

Per manuf. instructions .....do not use wrap -on cables under ground . Move drain pipe above ground & use wrap-on or insulate pipe underground , or put drain below frost fine in ground

Hey Kevin, I am a plumber and I don't see why you could not install one or the other. I would prefer not to have a mechanical joint if not necessary. If needed at a later date, I would simply cut the pipe and install a coupling at that time. Hope this helps

You can route the cable from either the top or the bottom. There is a channel to insert the cable into, if routing from the bottom. There is no need to switch any of the hardware.

Presumably, you could loop another locking cable through the loop in this one.

Yes. If the cable is not long enough with the rope attached you can always use the extra chain for some more length.
