Chemical supply houses ( for labs and such ) sell heat tape...but I have never heard of 12 volt DC h. tape. Probably because of the current draw. We used Variacs to start heating at 120 AC in the labs, then turn the AC down to the desired temp.
You would definately want to wrap this tape in fiberglas or something similar ... to avoid the loss of precious heat. Watch the electrical shorts to the steel line(s)....
