Flat-Jacket Snow Melters

Fig. 156

Flat-Jacket Snow Melter Rod

Flat-Jacket Snow Melter Rods are resistance-

heating elements in a stainless-steel sheath.

They attach to the stock rail using SnapTite

rail clips or bolt-on clips. The flat-jackets are

single ended (both leads come out of one

side) and are rated to a specific voltage (+/-

5%).

Use clips between every tie to attach the Flat-

Jacket Snow Melter Rod to the rail. This

assures proper heating at the switch point

and extends the life of the Flat-Jacket Snow

Melter.

NOTE:

Failure to use these clips properly

will result in poor snow clearance

and premature element failure.

SnapTite rail clips clamp on to the bottom of

the field side of the rail and to the Flat-Jacket

Snow Melter Rod.

Fig. 167

SnapTite Rail Clips

Bolt-on clips are bolted directly to the field or

gauge side of the rail and clamp on to the

Flat-Jacket Snow Melter Rod.

Bolt-On Clips

NOTE:

For additional instructions on the

installation, operation, maintenance

and troubleshooting of Flat-Jacket

Snow Melter Rods see Spectrum

Document number ENM-2957

If Flat-Jacket Snow Melter Rods are

installed, the Rod – Crib Heaters

switch must be set to

for the

equipment to operate.
