SKU CH-M5PN-V7HTM

Self-regulating electric heating cable, 24 ft, 240 V AC, 6 W per foot at 40 °F, 300 ft maximum circuit length, rubberised polymer cover

  • Self-regulating heat output adjusts to temperature
  • 24 ft pre-assembled cable with 6 ft cold lead
  • 6 W per foot at 40 °F for efficient pipe protection
  • Hardwire 240 V AC connection supports up to 300 ft circuits
  • Rubberized polymer cover rated to 150 °F for indoor or outdoor use

Frostguard FG2-24L Self-Regulating Heating Cable

This 24-foot self-regulating heating cable operates at 240V AC and delivers 6 watts per foot at 40°F. It includes a 6-foot cold lead and uses conductive carbon core with rubberized polymer cover. The cable draws 0.6 amps per cable at 40°F and has a maximum operating temperature of 150°F.

Installation Requirements Check

Verify your supply is 240V AC at 50 Hz and that the circuit can accommodate the 0.6 amp draw per cable. The maximum circuit length allowed is 300 feet for this model. Ensure the installation location suits indoor or outdoor use with hardwire connection.

Upgrade From Constant-Wattage Cable

This self-regulating design replaces constant-wattage cables that cannot adjust output with temperature changes. The jump is worth it when you need automatic power reduction as pipes warm up to prevent overheating. Buyers needing longer continuous runs beyond 300 feet or lower voltage options cannot use this model.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 ft Frostguard FG2-24L cable arrive ready to install, or do I need extra parts?

The kit includes a 24 ft pre-assembled heating cable with a 6 ft cold lead already attached. The NEMA plug configuration is hardwire, so the installer must provide a suitable junction box and wire connectors for the power connection.

I see only one length listed — how do I decide if 24 ft is right for my pipe run?

The self-regulating cable produces 6 W per foot at 40 °F. Measure the total pipe length you need to protect; if it exceeds 24 ft you can join additional cables up to the maximum circuit length of 300 ft on a single 240 V circuit.

What does the 6 W per foot rating mean once the cable is on my pipes?

At 40 °F the cable draws 6 W per foot, 0.03 A per foot and 0.6 A total for the 24 ft length. Output automatically falls as the pipe warms toward the 150 °F maximum operating temperature, reducing energy use when full heat is not needed.
