Is this safe to use on an outside farm hydrant pipe

The heat tape itself is waterproof, but i would certainly protect the thermostat end from getting wet. But a hydrant faucet should drain automatically each time it's shut off (assuming the drain line isn't plugged up). Are you sure you even need heat tape?

I wish I could answer with authority. I've used the product outside for over a year, now. The problem is that, while it is outside, it is also sheltered from rain. I don't know if water would hurt the product or not.

Curtis, I use mine via an outside hose bib with about 35-50psi. It works great!

i threw mine out and bought a wayne electric pump for less then $50 . i use it in my rain barrels the cord on the motor reaches well out side of the barrels for disconnecting, however i picked up a remote controlwhich makes it very safe handling. i had up to a 100 foot hose connected to this pump for watering.

My plumber said to use it every 3 to 4 months depending on your root problem .I asked if it would harm my pipes or trees and he said no because the amount used in comparison to the amount of water in the line controls its corrosiveness. I have been using it for the past 8 months and will use it again in February with no adverse effects so far. I had a real bad root problems and it has saved me digging up my yard and replacing a section of line. So far so good!

This hose is labeled to be used as an outdoor house only. You should take the extra time and expense and do it right with a rigid pipe

I can't tell you if it is safe for septic tanks, but works good for cleaning out the roots in my 4 inch sewer pipe and keeps them clear. I use it once a year to keep my lines clear of roots.

Absolutely yes! The cable is indeed safe for extended periods of outdoor use. I've tested it myself for my irrigation system with an electric pump which takes in water from the lake. It's been holding strong for now about a year -- resisting both scorching sun and icy cold weather. You won't be disappointed.

Yes. I used it in buried PVC pipes. It is supposed to be capable of direct burial but I wanted it protected.

The instructions do say not to leave it outside. I have not joined hoses so cannot help with that question.

I used "Raindrip 052010P 1/2-Inch-by-100-Foot Poly Hose" to run lines around my garden. It worked great, and i couldn't beat the price of 10 bucks. Pex would probably last alot longer though if I was more certain of the long term lay out.

I would not use epoxy to seal this kind of drip. It depends on how the pipes are attached and whether they are PVC or copper. If it is copper it may be a weld issue. I bought this product to seal a pipe in an outdoor garden project with little risk to my home interior. In this case, you may want to seek the advice or help of a plumber.

The information states that it is safe??? It is made of a different material than a typical hose. I would believe it is safe. I have friends who are very eco and organic friendly and they do much research before buying anything to use in their home and garden, this is the hose of their choice.I LOVE this hose for ease of use. I would never buy any other hose again. The 100 ft is very long and much easier to use than any hose I have ever used before!!Hope this helps!

no this is a light weight water line. It'll work great for irrigation and it also works great for running low voltage underground wiring. I would recommend using PVC piping or fiberglass rods

I probably wouldn't try it outside. Fear of possible rusting. Go for some of the PVC versions, or plastic.

I don't believe it is. I checked my user info and there wasn't anything referencing appropriateness of outside use. By merely looking at the units - they don't look watertight. I would recommend contacting the company - they are very helpful. 1-877-298-9082

We used it on the outside of our hot tub cover as it was tearing along the seam this past winter. Here in MASS our winter was harsh. The tape held up all winter. We replaced our cover in the spring so it did what we wanted. My husband is a plumber and said it should be fine on a drain pipe but nothing with pressure. It is water proof .Hope this helps

I use this product on a outside sprinkler junction with pvc pipe. It works well. I really not sure about the use you are suggesting. It is rather inexpensive, and you could try! Good luck
