The steps involved in heat tape installation for preventing frozen pipes are: Measure the length of the pipe to determine the amount of heat tape needed. Clean the pipe surface to ensure good adhesion of the heat tape. Wrap the heat tape around the pipe, following the manufacturer's instructions. Secure the heat tape in place with tape or zip ties. Plug in the heat tape and test it to ensure it is working properly. Insulate the pipe with foam insulation to help retain the heat. Monitor the pipe during cold weather to prevent freezing.
