Heat tape, check that paragraph I referenced. Heat tape is NOT a substitute for a heated enclosure. No swapping tape for walls. 7.2.5.2.3
FM jobs we've done have been explicit about no heat tape. Now it's pretty clear in NFPA 13 as well. Anyway, enough for today. I'm dropping the top on the convertible and cruising home. Craig L.

Despite being a bad idea with little chance of success, I couldn't say - You gotta have a valve room although I THOUGHT it was an explicit requirement. Implicit doesn't carry the day. Ughhhhhhhh.
