Freeze protection cable

[Dave1909]

Hello ,

I need some advice,

I will install a freeze protection cable on my pipe.I will like to know your opinion on
the best place to put the cable heat thermostat.In the installation instruction we can read" the thermostat
should be placed on the coldest end of the pipe". The problem is that if I put the thermostat
where my pipe froze last year (see the picture to know where) ... this portion of the pipe
will not be heat , so this portion of the pipe will retain cold and never been heat...
so my pipe had chance to freeze again next winter.

I'm confused .... where is the best place to put the thermostat if you look at my plan?

Are you using a heat tape? If so what type? Post a link to what you're using.
