  • That is heavily dependent on the specific application and proximity of heated pad to potentially combustible material. This heater pad is designed primarily for installation onto the bottom of exposed waste tanks, or steps.

  • Can Valterra Self-Regulating Heating Cable for RV Plumbing keep RV Water Tank From Freezing
  • The Valterra Self-Regulating Heating Cable for RV Plumbing # W01-1573 that you referenced was designed for your exact situation where you want to keep the plumbing and tanks from freezing. Another option that's more popular since it's a waste tank is to basically just pour antifreeze down the drains as it will keep it all from freezing. Typically you only run the heaters on the freshwater pipes/plumbing since it's water that can't have antifreeze since it's for drinking.

  • Replacement Water Inlet Cap with Gasket Or Seal
  • I'm not sure of the exact reason why some of these don't have gaskets and I'm not aware of any reason why they don't include them; none of the caps we carry come with an actual gasket but there are some options that provide a better seal than others.
