Where no gutter is installed, a drip loop should be
installed at the roof edge to allow melt water to drip
free of the roof. No special attachment is necessary
for heated drip loops. Use the same attachment as
appropriate for your roof type; just make sure the
heating cable extends 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) from
the roof edge.

Kits
Drip loops are used where the heating cable enters a
power connection, tee, or splice, to keep water from
tracking into the component. No special attachment
is necessary.
