Which is better heat tape or heat cable?
Heat cable is somewhat stiff, but it’s pliable enough to wrap it around your pipes, and it does not shrink; Heat tape is extremely flexible and is well suited to conforming to very tight contours where high temperatures are needed, therefore it’s better for tight contours and oddly shaped pipes.
