Our pipe heating cable has a thermostat pod encased in clear plastic.

The pilot light will come on when the temperature reaches 38 degrees or you can push down on the switch to activate it for testing purposes.

It's important to position the pod so that the switch doesn't get pushed in by any type of pressure, otherwise the unit will not shut off when it warms up.

About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.
