How far from the plug (outlet) does the heat tape start?

The cord is two feet long before the heat tape starts. I used a short, heavy duty extension cord because the outlet was five feet away.

24" from plug to thermostat, with 36" of heat tape after that. They can be used with any heavy-duty grounded extension cord, to increase the distance from outlet to place of intended use.

Don't remember, I think about three feet. I used an extension cord from the plug. I had used a three foot heat tape for years, overkill but it worked well. and never leaked. I only need a small tape to keep the pipe free right at the water line on a stock tank. I hope my experience was just t rare flaw with the sealing of the tape. Will probably go to a three foot. They are much more common.

From the plug to the heat tape measures a bit more than 21 inches. My heat tape itself is 3 feet long.

You can replace the non-GFCI plug with this plug and then have GFI protection for the heat tape as long as the heat tape does not draw more than 15 Amps.

Since I operate my unit about at least 10 feet away from the wall outlet, I usually use an extension cord. And it works the same way as being plugged in the wall outlet, without any issues that I have noticed.

6.5 inches from the plug to the Y, about 7.5 inches to the end of the plug mouth. It will roll up quite nicely against the wall, but it would be better with a right angle plug.

mine measures 6 1/4 from where the cord is connected at the base of the unit to the end of the insulation right where the actual prongs start to come out.

The cord only gets very slightly warm. It is 6 or 7 '. We like ours very much.

If it is of shorter distance to an outlet & no way to hide or decorate the cord?You may need to shorten as it is over 4ft.of electrical cord.

Not real long. Approx 18 inches or so. Typical placement would generally be at the elect outlet anyway. You generally would not have normal use by plugging extension cord into the outlet but instead would plug timer device info the outlet and then plug extension cord into the timer to feed whatever you have intended to be controlled by the timer.

There is a cord from the base to the outlet and mine is right above the bathroom outlet. I have the cord tied up so there is no long cord dangling around getting in the way. Works perfect!Y

I installed it at the furthest point from the water heater. Hot water will only go as far as where it is installed and that way all the outlets are somewhat covered with just one unit. My wife is always telling me " Go hit the button ".

Not exactly sure, because I keep mine tied up (it's close to the outlet), but I want to say around 3 feet.

Power cord is 8' long and comes down from the right side of the roof.Outlet should be in back of the sauna. Extension cords are not advisable.

The retractable cord is 2 feet long fully extended. So, it needs to be fairly close to an outlet.

The warmer is installed on the existing surface wall. You can connect with a nearby outlet with a plug but best if hardwired.

The power cord comes out of the unit on the front, lower, right corner and is just under 5' in length. It will be close but should reach. You may need to turn the outlet in the wall upside down.
