Drain trace heating
Getting closer to deciding to add trace heating to my condensate
drain. As I had freezing problems, last year I lagged the external pipework with 25 mm thickness Armaflex. The extreme weather last winter still caused me some problems, at the junction with the downpipe. Looks like I need self-regulating heater tape + thermostat + additional lagging over the junction with the rectangular downpipe. As it is a rainwater downpipe, it is open at the top. Am I wasting my time (or money) trying to heat the bottom of this? Should I just try to ensure that the actual waste pipe is heated I can find some suitable parts at TLC, and a few specialist suppliers. Can anybody recommend a good value kit for the job? Where would I find off cuts of sheet Armaflex at a reasonable price? Chris -- Chris J Dixon Nottingham UK Have dancing shoes, will ceilidh. |
