I'm looking into additional heating pads on my Vegas tanks. I have noticed that the vendors that sell elbow and gate valve heaters don't include thermostats on those items. They recommend only turning them on when dumping. IE do not turn on unless the areas are frozen and its time to dump.



This implies to me that freezing in these areas will not damage the piping I guess due to the ability of the fluid to expand into the holding tank which is heated.



Anyone have any "experience" with this? (PS dont say use antifreeze. I am looking at long term winter solution about tank heaters)
