Question: Will this work with any braided heat cable? How does the cable attach to this?
Document: wanted this to control a heat pad not heat cable. Switch did not seem to have a solid on/off action. Sent it back.
Easily connects the heat cable to a power source. Dead simple to install. It works, and works well.
This product was returned to Amazon because I was unable to use the Easy Heat Cable the product was intended to be used with. The Electronic water valves I was trying to protect from freezing could not be protected with Heat Cable, but had to be protected with the correct ambient temperature.
The Easy Heat system seems to be well made. The 3' cord is too short for many applications (including mine.) Since it's 90 degrees in the shade now I can't say how well the Easy Heat system will work. One thing you should be aware of is that this item in NOT A THERMOSTAT. You will need to buy a separate thermostat (and also a spool of heat wire) to make a complete system.
This is the adapter used with freeze free cable. Follow instructions for correct mounting. Works well. A red LED shows it is powered up.
This is completely obnoxious. You need a different piece to make it work. It doesn't do what it's supposed to do on its own. Sure, if you know about home repair you might have figured this out on your own but for someone like me, it does not do what it says it's going to do. It should state clearly that it requires an additional purchase. A total waste and very frustrating.
I thought the product was complete with heat tape and all. Since I did not use the product, I can't rate it's quality.
This product works great. I would recommend it to anyone who is in need of making there own heat tapes. I did not find any flaws with this product.
This connector kit is solid built, and built to last! It is so easy to install your heat tape to,any child could do it, it is fool proof! The cord is extra heavy duty almost over kill and the body of the unit is not some flimsy cheap fall apart piece of junk you normally find associated with some store bought already attached thermostat controlled heat tapes. You will like this Easy Heat system over anything else on the market, period!
Very easy to use and this newer version has a light that tells you its fuse is OK.  Its not a thermostat, Easy heat and others sells several in line thermostats that are preset to a given temperature (but I like the adjustable ones you can get else ware). I set up my heat tape with a power monitor that tells me how much current it is pulling. Its nice to know the thermostats turned on and all is working properly from inside the house when its near zero and windy outside.
Answer: Not sure if you can use "any" braided cable, but if you use "easy heat cable" you must strip back the braid exposing the black inter sheath cut this off square and insert approx. 3/4 in into the 10802 connector close it down and tighten the screws.  what this does is there is two sharp metal barbs inside this connector that puncture the black sheath and makes the electrical connection
