Stop losing water access when temperatures plunge. The Camco 22924 combines a drinking-water-safe hose with a built-in self-regulating heat cable so you get reliable water flow down to -40 degrees F -- no thermostat, no extra controller, just plug it in and connect.
Full-time campers, seasonal site dwellers, and anyone hooking up in cold climates know the frustration of a frozen water hose. The Camco 22924 eliminates that problem by integrating a self-regulating heating element directly into the hose assembly. As ambient temperatures drop, the heat cable automatically increases output; as temps rise, it backs off -- preventing overheating without any manual intervention.
The hose itself is built to drinking-water standards. It is phthalate-free, BPA-free, and lead-free, and carries CSA low lead content certification and NSF/ANSI 372 listing -- the same standard required for drinking water system components. Heavy-duty nickel-plated machined fittings resist corrosion at both ends, and the blue PVC outer jacket protects both the water hose and the embedded electrical components from abrasion and UV exposure.
The heating element adjusts output automatically based on temperature -- no thermostat or controller required. Eliminates hot spots and prevents overheating.
Rated to maintain water flow at ambient temperatures as low as -40 degrees F -- suitable for the harshest winter RV and campground conditions.
Phthalate-free, BPA-free, and lead-free construction. NSF/ANSI 372 certified and CSA low lead content listed for safe potable water delivery.
Manufactured domestically with a 90-day limited manufacturer warranty. Heavy-duty nickel-plated fittings on both ends for long-term corrosion resistance.
Unlike fixed-wattage heat tapes that run at constant power regardless of conditions, the self-regulating element in the Camco 22924 uses a conductive polymer core that naturally increases electrical resistance as temperature rises. This means it draws more power when it is cold and automatically reduces power as the hose warms -- lowering energy use and eliminating any risk of the cable overheating itself.
At rated conditions the hose draws approximately 10 watts per foot -- so the 50-foot model draws up to roughly 500 watts at peak cold-weather demand. That demand decreases substantially as ambient temperature rises above freezing.
The hose ships with a female-to-male garden hose adapter so you can connect your water source to either end -- useful when one end is closer to the power outlet you need to reach. The 18 AWG power cord terminates in a standard 120V AC plug with a lighted LED indicator so you can confirm the hose is energized at a glance.
The Camco 22924 uses standard 3/4 in GHT (garden hose thread) fittings on both ends, compatible with virtually all RV city water inlets and standard campground spigots. No adapters are required for typical hookups. The included female-to-male adapter provides additional connection flexibility.
This hose is also suitable for use with residential well systems, seasonal cabins, livestock watering setups, and any application where a potable water line must remain unfrozen at outdoor temperatures.
