Heating Cable layout
Heating cable layout depends primarily on the roof
type and roof features. The following sections show
typical layouts on standard roof types:
• "Sloped Roof – Standard" on page 16
• "Sloped Roof – Standing Seam" on page 17
• "Flat Roof" on page 20
• "Sloped Roof without Gutters" on page 21
• "Roof Valleys" on page 23
• "Roof/Wall Intersections" on page 24
• "Gutters" on page 25
• "Downspouts" on page 27
Important: For optimum performance, the heating
cable should be in contact with snow or ice. Installing
the heating cable under the roofing or the roofing
materials will reduce the efficiency of the heating
system. Please contact Thermal Management for
assistance.
