Bending pipe heated with 6x6 Omega blanket

McMaster-Carr lists this 6x6 heat blanket 'high heat': http://www.mcmaster.com/#35765K26.

I think this might be a valid substitute, and it's in-stock.

power cord White/common wire to the white side of the outlet --- Power cord black wire into the timer - black out of the timer into the dimmer - black out of the dimmer to the black side of the outlet. Tie all the greens together ---- done.

If you are using lamp cord the wire that is ribbed is the white/common. Don't over look this, the plug must be polarized to prevent the possibility of a shock. Especially working with metal and water.

Okay, thanks. The in-stock blanket is a little more expensive than the Omega, but then again, it is in stock!

You can order the in-stock adhesive backed blanket from Omega - simply wipe with acetone to remove the adhesive (suggestion of their tech guy that called me). SRMU050606-P

Thanks Dan.

The Omega part number is for a 5-watt-per-square-inch pad, half the heat of the McMaster-Carr one and the original Omega that Ken linked to.

Thanks for pointing that out Peter - I think the 5'er is sufficient - would like to know for sure.
