Frost Protection for Frozen Pipes in Wintery New Zealand Conditions

Both the Central North Island and the South Island of New Zealand have temperatures cold enough to freeze pipes in winter. In extreme cases, pipes have the potential to burst due to frozen water expansion.

Heat trace can be used to prevent the water from freezing in pipes and is a very basic and easy application for frost protection.
