I suggest you consider using a thermostat instead. It's more logical
and nobody needs to remember to turn off / on with the seasons.
You can use an AC-rated electric heater thermostat. I've seen them at
Lowes, or from Graingers or HVAC suppliers. Also called "line voltage
thermostat". It will have a rating of 15A or more. Mount it where it
sees temperature range similar to the pipe in question, in a
weatherproof box.

Hi wrenches,
Does anyone know a good source for a reliable, reasonably priced 24v
DC clock timer 5-10A run off a relay. We are powering heat tape to
mitigate a vulnerable spot in a water pumping system for a stock tank.
Thanks,
