Product Details
13.5VDC Supply Line Pipe Heater by Ultraheat®. Fresh water supply lines are always the 1st to freeze due to their smaller diameter and low volume of fluids, in most cases this line will extend from the fresh water holding tank directly up and through the cabin floor, leaving only approx. 12" to 14" exposed to cold weather. This little heat panel is perfect for protecting this line against freezing. If your supply line is longer, two or more panels can be used to protect the line, spacing no more than 2" (5 cm) between the panels. For additional protection against cold weather, Ultraheat would recommend insulating over the heat panels using any type of type insulation designed for high heat applications and/or carries a Class A or Class 1 fire rating.
Notes
- For a 1/2" diameter (1.3cm) fresh water supply line
- The type of line in use must be a harder plastic style similar to Pex and not vinyl or vinyl reinforced, the vinyl cannot accept the heat output of the heat panels and will fail

- The method in which Ultraheat adhesive is applied also gives it a stronger molecular concentration, far superior to the secondary adhesion process most commonly used
- Pipe elbow heaters can be used on straight pipe runs shorter than 12" (30.5cm) either installed running parallel along the bottom of the pipe or wrapped around like a Band-Aid around the finger
- Perfect for off-grid camping

Like all of the RV heat panels Ultraheat offer, these should only be powered up under the two conditions of colder freezing weather conditions and with fluid present within. UltraHeat RV heaters has an easy peel-n-stick backing using our proprietary adhesive formula, designed not to breakdown and ultimately fail and release like most on the market, in fact increases its adhesion properties in the ageing process.
Joseph Soptich was an electrical engineer and UltraHeat® founder who developed the game-changing heating system. This system was first introduced to manufacturers in 1988 and it was promptly recognized as the "standard" to now be used in the expanding overseas caravan, motorhome, and leisure vehicle industries. Today, UltraHeat products remain one of the RV industry's leading product designs. They can work on RV tanks, drain pipes, and elbows and their deicing heat element is perfect for 4-season campers and cold weather camping. 100% made in the USA, UltraHeat products come with decades of road-tested, proven performance and definitely will protect and prevent holding tanks and pipes from freezing up.
