Well inlet pipe too long
The water inlet pipe from my well initially installed is too long so that this pipe including the heating element inside obstructs the hallway already narrow and it must be circumvented constantly. Here is my question, is it possible to shorten the water inlet pipe (about 10"), then push the pyrotenax heating cable and then reconnect the pipe? Also, can the pyrotenax heating cable be pushed or if it absolutely has to be pulled by the other end? Another option, if the pyrotenax heating cable cannot be pushed, can it be bended slightly so i can reconnect the pipe?

Welcome to the forums.
Shortening the black poly is not too terribly difficult.
I'd cut it at the yellow line to the length you want.
Remove the clamp at the blue arrow. Heat the poly pipe to get it to soften and come off the fitting.
You can also carefully slice the poly and then soften to remove.
You will need to heat the poly where it goes back on the fitting.
I'm not following you on your cable question.
I don't see any heating cable in the picture.

Pyrotenax heating cable
Here is the image of common Pyrotenax heating cable. The external part is made of coper pipe that is connected to a control panel. The internal part that is running inside the water pipe is the heating part. It seems to be made of flexible wire.

This site says that up to 150 ft. of cable can be push installed. Do you know how long your cable is?
