would this be good to heat a crawl space so pipes dont freeze?

No! a fire hazard. Especially when they run out of fuel. A large yellow flame comes out when they run out of propane. Do Not use unattended.

What Allen said. It's an open-flame design. Not safe at all for enclosed spaces.

It definitely is hot enough but l would be cautious, it doesn't have a temp control. I would be careful not to get it close to anything that can catch on fire.

maybe ln an emergency...but the one i have puts out so much fumes its unusable in a closed up space.

It could for a few years or a week. It uses a cheap motor. If you have the ability it get the 30 amp circuit for the heater, I would get some good heat tape for pipes and not the heater

mine is for hot water in a cabin. I will mount it on an external wall with a small roof over it with the exhaust pipe coming out the roof.piping will enter the cabin from below through the outside cabin wall. I suppose you could do the same thing with a shed but I wouldtry to keep the heater as close to where you will use it as you can. Don't forget about protecting it from freezing in the winter.

I used mine for an aquaponic system. I had the lines down 5 feet and it worked fine, you get a lot more heat when you choke it down with a manifold.

Yes, but I suggest doing research on crawlspace humidity before purchasing. It really only works if the outside temp is colder than the crawl and lower humidity. If I knew what I now know about crawlspace humidity I wouldn't have purchased this. I am doing an encapsulation on my crawlspace come spring. I am tracking my humidity with a hygrometer and I can tell you this won't cure a damp crawlspace.

You're quite right, the hose does get very hot. I've never tried anything to insulate it, figuring if there was such a thing, the manufacturer would have included that. I think styrofoam might be too easy to crack. Back in my day, they wrapped heating pipes in asbestos! I guess the shorter you have the hose, the better. Maybe Home Depot or some place like that can suggest something. My main problem with the thing is water dripping out the bottom pan onto the floor...

the thermostat is going to respond to the temp in the entire area. You would have to block off an area to heat only that, or use an inexpensive space heater which you switch on and off. I bought mine to keep my well house/storage shed just above freezing. It is working well for that.

I do not. It does not output a lot of heat...only a small amount in a localized area. A floor heater would likely be a better option....in my opinion.

I used it in a crawl space for an outside spigot. But I don't see why it couldn't be used on a hot as well.

I would not be concerned using it. It conducts heat and will not freeze if mixed correctly. This is what I use in my heating system and have not had any problems or concerns. It is used in boilers to distribute heat.

Not sure exactly what you are asking but it works very well for me in my application to heat the service bay compartment in my motor-coach. It will keep the water pipes from freezing in cold weather.

Yes we use this heater on natural gas to heat keep our basement which is above ground on one side of the house above freezing. The house itself is heated with Rinnai vented gas heaters, and hot Water is supplied by an on-demand Rinnai Water heater in the basement.

It really depends on cold it gets in your crawl space and if you can keep the space warm during the spraying. The temperatures Ryan.H has mentioned apply to the mixture tanks, ambient temp, and the surface you are spraying on, otherwise the mix may not raise or not stick and will not provide the desired results and RU protection. Keeping a sustained temp in all three areas and being able to ventilate the space as you spray will be key. The fumes if not moved out will can make you sick. Hope this helps.

Not sure how cold your attic gets. But it shouldn't be subjected to freezing temps, it will void your warranty if the pipes freeze. The heater or outlet pipe should be at least 24" from any combustable materials, and should not be installed under any water pipes or A/C lines. Required clearances are 12" above and below the heater, and 6" from either side. I was confused about the required 3/4" water feed line. When I called customer service about the size of the feed line. They told me it reguires 3/4" in and out for at least 1 foot. I went with a water feed line of 3/4" copper tubing for 5 feet in and out. My unit works great, and happy I went with the Ecosmart. I didn't see anyone else with a Lifetime Warranty, and made in USA to boot...

i use it to heat a 1,000 ft first floor of a house. no insulation, but i have walls . i think it will do the trick. i also use ceiling fans to bring the heat down. i live in cleveland warmer than your weather

For a motor home that you want to winterize so the pipes don't freeze, you will want to use an RV Antifreeze and get it into all of the lines to replace the water so the lines/fittings/toilet doesn't burst. Easy Heat 10802 works with the Easy heat cable and plugs into a normal 120V outlet to heat water lines below trailer houses and homes with crawl spaces (no basement). Can't really think of any other use for it - any water/sewage line that is exposed to freezing air that you don't want to freeze. Wrap the cable around the line as you go and plug the outlet in.

If you're winterizing a motor home, you may be considering wrapping pipes in the Freeze Cable. This is used to connect the cable to AC. I have several, connected to different legs of my pipe wraps, and they work like a champ.
