Raypak FG1-50P Raychem Frostgard Freeze Protection Cable

Product Description

The RAYPAK FG1-50P is a Raychem Frostgard self-regulating freeze protection heating cable designed to prevent pipe freezing in cold-weather applications. Self-regulating cables automatically adjust heat output based on ambient temperature, reducing energy use while maintaining reliable freeze protection. This type of cable is installed directly on water supply lines, drain lines, and plumbing runs exposed to freezing conditions. Installation is typically handled by licensed electricians or plumbing contractors familiar with heat trace systems.

The FG1-50P is suited for residential and light commercial freeze protection on water pipes, including supply lines in unconditioned spaces such as crawl spaces, attics, and exterior wall chases. It is also used on pool and spa plumbing runs exposed to freezing temperatures. The Frostgard product line is engineered for potable and non-potable water pipe applications where consistent low-level heat is needed during cold months.

Installation Notes

Installation of electric heat trace cable should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 427 requirements for electric heating cables. Power must be disconnected at the circuit breaker before making any electrical connections. The cable should be applied along the underside or side of the pipe and secured with appropriate tape or ties rated for heat trace use. Do not overlap the cable on itself, as concentrated heat buildup can damage the cable or reduce service life.
