Prefab, mobile homes and accessory dwelling units often face freeze risk where the water line rises into the dwelling. Retro-Line freeze-protects water supply lines in mobile homes, prefab homes, and accessory dwelling units by installing the self-regulating heating cable directly inside the pipe to safeguard the freeze-prone section. Retro-Line is fully certified for water supply lines, can be ordered to length for the exposed section or the full run, and stays serviceable from inside the home for reliable year-round water.
Key benefits:
• In-pipe, self-regulating freeze protection
• Installs from inside the home and remains fully serviceable
• Ideal for prefab, mobile, and accessory dwelling units
• Plan into new builds or install in existing systems
How it fits:
This approach helps avoid major excavation or renovations while freeze protecting vulnerable sections.
