Abstract
A flexible heating cable having a cold lead section and a heating section, in which a thermostat is disposed in the cold wires of the cold lead section and a light and a switch are disposed in a flexible translucent plastic pouch remotely located from the two sections and are connected to the wires adjacent the thermostat so that the unit can be tested at a position remote from the heating cable installation. The heating section is preferably provided with a socket on the end opposite the cold lead section to permit the coupling therewith of one or more heating section modules, and the switch is preferably operated by depressing the side walls of the remotely located pouch.
