Where specified, the roof eave panels must extend to the edges of the
roof eave (i.e., to the gable ends and rake ends). Contact your Summit
Ice Melt Systems’ representative or phone Summit at 530-583-8888 if
actual field dimensions are significantly different from design
dimensions and Layout Drawings. Failure to do this may cause melted snow
to re-freeze at the unheated areas and form icicles and ice dams.

HotSlot Panel Installation, (Cont’d.)
4.
Using waterproof screws, attach the panels through the factory
pre-drilled holes (five fasteners for 8' panel). If panels are less
than full length, ensure a fastener is within 3" of each end, and
spacing no greater than 24" O.C. Keep fasteners 5" away from
center of valley.
5.
Center the screw in the hole before securing; set the screw so the
neoprene gasket bubbles out slightly from under the metal dome
head. Do not over-drive.
Ensure that the full shank thickness of the screw penetrates a
minimum 1" into the roof wood substrate, or penetrates the full
shank diameter (excludes the tapered point) through the wood,
whichever is less. Some conditions do not allow adequate
penetration of Summit’s fasteners.
It is up to the installer to
determine and procure suitable fasteners as needed
. Summit
recommends the fasteners be installed through the wood deck
and into the supporting wood members.
