Fitted Connections vs. Daylight Openings: Choosing the Right Freeze Protection System for Pipes

In this month’s video blog, we explore how to achieve reliable freeze protection for pipes using either a daylight opening or a fitted connection in various applications. We’ll explain the difference between a fitted connection, which provides a watertight, pressure-sealed system, and a daylight opening, which is used in applications like condensate lines. We’ll also highlight which products work best with each type of connection, including the Retro-Line system for threaded connections and the Paladin and EXT heating cables for daylight openings.

Watch the video to learn how to choose the right freeze protection heating cable system for your plumbing setup.
