Heated Drip Edges
When installing a heated drip edge, you can attach
the heating cable to the roof’s drip edge or to a flat
sheet of sheet metal with a UV-resistant cable tie, or
place the heating cable in a formed (J-channel) piece
of sheet metal.

Figure 23: Heated drip edge attachment guidelines
• The illustrations above are guidelines for heating
cable attachment in a heated drip edge application.
Thermal Management does not manufacture drip
edge attachment clips.
• Use 20-gauge or thicker corrosion-resistant sheet
metal.
• Contact your Thermal Management representa-
tive or Thermal Management directly for specific
recommendations.
Drip loops
Drip loops are used where connection kits are locat-
ed in the system, and at roof edges where no gutter
is installed. The drip loops allow melt water to drip
free of the heating cable.
