{"title":"Winter-ready: frost protection cables","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou keep a water pipe in the stable frost-free with a frost protection cable: a heating cable that you lay along the pipe and fix with aluminium tape, so the pipe does not freeze or burst in frost.

This spreads the heat over the pipe. Then insulate the pipe with pipe lagging, because without insulation the heat disappears quickly. For wrapping, crossing and shortening the cable, follow the manufacturer's manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePoints to note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA frost protection cable needs a power socket, preferably with an RCD and protected against moisture and rodents. It uses electricity as long as it is switched on; switch it off in spring or let it switch via a thermostat if your model supports that.
