SRP Pre-assembled Self-regulating Cable  

DESCRIPTION: 

SRP

  

self-regulating

 

pre-assembled

 

heating

 

cables

 

are 

designed

 

for a variety of pipe

 

freeze

 

protection

 as well as roof 

and gutter deicing applications. The heat output (wattage)  

increases and decreases based on the temperature, so the 
cable adjusts automatically to varying climate conditions.  This 
unique feature ensures maximum energy efficiency by 
increasing the heat output only when it is needed.  No 
thermostat is required. 

 

SRP CABLE FEATURES: 

- Rated 6 watts/foot 

at 40º F, (4º C) for pipe freeze protection. 

- Rated 8 watts/foot at 32º F, (0º C) for roof and gutter deicing. 
- 30 inch power lead with grounded plug. 

- Pre-terminated with 30 inch 120V cord with plug and end 
  splice. 
- Suitable for use on metal and plastic pipes. 
- Suitable for metallic and nonmetallic gutters and downspouts. 
- Cable will not overheat or burnout when overlapped. 
- 16 gauge heating cable bus wire. 
- 2 year warranty.

CAUTION: 

1. Heating cables must be installed in compliance with the 

national electric code (NEC) in addition to state, provincial and 
local codes. Check with your local inspector for specific code 
requirements (or regulations or standards) in your area. 

2. Save these instructions and transfer them to future owner(s). 

3. Never install on pipes that  could potentially exceed 150º F, 

(65º C). 

4. Not for use with an extension cord. 

5.  

Not for use with indoor pipes

Cable should not run through the 

building walls, ceilings or floors. 

6. For safety, King recommends that all heating cables are placed 

on a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) circuit. 
Consult your local electrical inspector to determine the specific 
requirements in your area.  

7. Do not cut or alter the length of the cable in any way.  Any 

alteration may result in electrical shock or fire. 

8. Post warning labels supplied with the cable at the power supply 

and along the pipe on the outside of the insulation. 

9.

Do not bend the cable to less than a 1/2” radius. 

10.Do not Install cable on shingle roofs in freezing temperatures; 

as this may cause damage to the shingles. 

11.Cables are intended for freeze protection of water pipes only. 

Not intended  for use with other liquids or hazardous materials. 

12. For installation in accessible areas only.
