Heating Cable Installation
Raychem-IM-H58067-IceStopRoofGutterDeIcingCOM-EN 18/01
In wide gutters, snow and ice can bridge over the
tunnel created by a single heating cable and prevent
melt water from getting into the gutter and down-
spouts. To maintain a continuous path for melt water
to run off, run the heating cable in the gutter as
shown in Figure 13 below and follow the appropri-
ate attachment recommendations in “Attachment
Methods‚” page 29. Additional heating cable may
be needed for the roof surface, downspouts, and
valleys.
