for that particular type of roof. The heating cable is
attached with a UV-resistant cable tie to the loop
formed by this material.

• The belt loop method of securing the IceStop
heating cable involves using a small piece of roof-
ing material to form a “belt loop.”
• Use at least one belt loop for every 5 to 10 feet (1.5
to 3 m) of unsupported heating cable and at every
heating cable change of direction.
