Well, winter is here, and I have a cold-related issue to solve.

We have a spray booth, essentially outdoors. The sprayer arrangement uses pumps to spray paint on product as it passes through on a conveyor.

Outside of the immediate spray area are the supply lines - and the cold is making them freeze up. This area does accumulate overspray.

Any thoughts -pro or con- to using electrical heat tape to keep the lines and valves - all outside the tube in which the spraying takes place- from freezing? Would the type of heat tape matter?
