Chromalox SRF-RG self-regulating heating cable provides reliable freeze protection of
roofs and gutters. Because SRF-RG is self-regulating,
it automatically adjusts to the appropriate heat
output as ambient conditions change, making it both
energy efficient and cost effective. The protective
waterproof outer jacket is suitable for wet
applications in downspouts and roof drains.
Likewise, it is easy to apply SRF-RG following
the provided instruction sheets and utilizing the
required accessory kits. It can be cut-to-length and
single overlapped. Simply trace the gutter or roof and
energize the cable when precipitation is expected.
From that point on, SRF-RG will rapidly increase its
output when in contact with snow or ice, providing maximum melting power. When the roof and
gutters are clear of snow and ice, the SRF-RG cable
will regulate its output and save energy.

1. To calculate the amount of cable needed, multiply roof edge length to be heat
traced by the spacing factor. The spacing factor (feet of cable required per
foot of roof edge) is determined by the roof overhang, heating width (A) and
heating height (B):
| Roof Overhang |
Heating Width |
Heating Height |
Spacing Factor |
| 12" |

2. Add the total gutter length and the total downspout length to
the figure calculated in step 1.
3. Also add enough cable to provide a drip
loop prior to going into the box, typically 6" to 36",
to get the total length of cable required.
4.
Determine how many circuits are required. Divide the total length of cable by
the maximum circuit length. Round that number up (for example, 2.1 to 3) to get
the total number of circuits.Maximum Circuit Length (Ft.)

Note: The SRF-RG cable is sold by the foot and therefore a
custom order. Once the order is placed it cannot be cancelled or
returned once you receive the cable. This is because the cable is cut
to length here, or at Chromalox, for your order, from your requested length.
WARNING — A ground fault protection device
is required by NEC to minimize the danger of fire if the heating cable is
damaged or improperly installed. A minimum trip level of 30 mA is recommended to
minimize nuisance tripping. Suggested breakers with 30 mA ground fault
trip levels are:
• 120V Single Pole Westinghouse GFEPD, Square D QO, EPD Style
• 120/240V Single Pole Westinghouse GFEPD, Square D QO, EPD Style.
