Can I apply pipe heat cable directly to pvc pipe?

I put your question into google and got this response: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070330043350AA4oR2lThey say yes, but you should cover it with insulation because the pvc is a poor conductor of heat and could still freeze if you don't insulate it.

Has anyone used this inside a gutter downspout to keep it from freezing solid?

use these in two gutters and downspouts, they keep the downspout open and prevent big icicle from forming. I also run part of the cable on the roof, in the valley. Works well

So the description gives conflicting information. Is this tape good for 40F or -380? Which is it?

Whoever wrote the description was obviously on crack! Water doesn't feeze at 40° and no place on earth gets down to -380°. There's no way it works to anywhere close to that low of a temperature.

In using this heat cable to keep an RV hose from freezing, is it necessary to pre-wrap the hose with aluminum tape before the heat cable?

I followed the directions, wow, a novel idea. It's easy to wrap sections of tin foil around the hose first (protects the hose from concentrated heat, and helps conduct the heat more evenly around hose). Secured every 6 inches with high temp electric tape. Then wrapped the whole deal with foam insulation tape.
