The PSR cable would have been ideal for your sump pump application if the pipe is made of plastic or metal pipes (such as PVC or polybutylene). The cable is not for application on flexible vinyl tubings (such as garden hose).
This product is not recommended to be pushed into the pipe, so there is no maximum length of the cable, it just shouldn't be done. The issue is the cable can twist and touch itself if pushed through the pipe.
Installing the ILH by pushing into the pipe would only make the cable twist inside the pipe. Twisting has the risk of making the cable come in contact with itself. The cable must never come in contact with itself as this will cause the cable to overheat. Pulling from the source side would make sure the cable is installed in a straight manner avoiding twisting of the cable inside the pipe. Also, attempting to install by pushing would limit the length of the cable that can be installed. There is a point that the cable will twist inside which will stop the cable from further pushing. Installation by pulling will ensure the whole length of the cable is installed properly inside the pipe.
There is some concern in the installation of the cable passing through a coupling less than 1". The manufacturer does not have data on how the end part of the cable will be able to pass through the coupling. The diameter on the widest side of the tape end is ½". They would only recommend the use the ILH cable only on a 1" or 1 ¼" diameter polyethylene pipe to ensure the effective operation of the cable.
No, this cable should only be used on 1" and 1-1/4" pipes.
It comes with one. Thankyou Gary
The kit I purchased came with a thermostat and variable controler to regulate the desired temperature.
This cable is only designed and approved to be installed on 1 1/4 inch and 1 inch Polyethylene pipes.
