Its crap, we used it to heat ink pipes during winter, we only need to keep a small amount of heat in a small section of pipe till it reached the press room, roughly about 10 degrees. It lasted 3 days then burnt out. What you have to do is use the trace heating then wrap the pipe in a foil backed material. Uses lot and lots of electricity. use a oil filled radiator.
