Yes the tape can be used in a garage. The maker calls for the heat tape and sensor to be attached with an electrical tape so it touches the pipe on the underside. You will need to insulate the pipe to retain the heat for it to work good in an area like a garage, if the wall it is in is un-insulated. You might also check the installation instructions to see if it calls for a clearance when used in a joist or stud area.
