Our heat tape is approx 8 years old. It is a Frostex "bulk" type with a thermostat on one end and a "cap" on the other. My question is, our water main had to be replaced, and before the park maintenance guy put the heat tape back, I happen to take a look at it. It was folded over...

THANK YOU for the tip! I too have those type of hoses. Years ago I noticed one of the rubber hoses had a big "bubble" - about ready to burst. So, I bought the burst proof ones you mention. Well worth it!
