Roof & Gutter Cables prevent water damage caused by
snow and ice buildup. Once again, working in conjunction with Underwriters
Laboratories (UL), Wrap-On was granted the industry's first listing for the newly
created category, "Roof and Gutter De-icing Cable for Metal or Plastic/Vinyl
Gutters and Downspouts."
The Roof and Gutter cables work in conjunction with natural sunlight and a
building's own heat dissipation. When natural thawing occurs, the cables create
a channel that allows water to flow off the roof and through gutters and
downspouts. Easy to operate, they simply plug in for years of trouble-free
operation.
The Wrap-On® Company has been manufacturing electric pipe heating cables, roof &
gutter cables and a variety of other winterization products for more than fifty
seven years. Wrap-On introduced the first pipe heating cable to the market in
the early 1940's. Other products such as roof & gutter cables and pipe
insulation soon followed. In the years since, we have continually improved and
updated our products to meet the changing needs of our customers.
Wrap-On Roof and Gutter Cables are the ideal preventative
maintenance for snow and ice buildup. They create channels on the roof, in the
gutter and in the downspout that allow melting ice and snow to flow freely,
eliminating ice dams and reducing icicle formation. They can be used safely on
all metal, plastic and vinyl gutters and downspouts and are UL listed and CSA
certified. Packaging includes detailed instructions and all necessary hardware.
Even in below freezing weather, snow on the roof will often thaw because of heat from the sun and heat loss from the house through the roof. As this melted snow reaches the roof overhang it refreezes.
Here there is no heat loss so the roof surface is much colder. As this melted snow refreezes again and again on the roof overhang, an ice dam is formed. Soon water backs up under
shingles, and leaks into the house. It's not those big icicles that do the real damage, it's
the ice you don't see that backs up in gutters and under shingles. When the
ice melts it can really do a number on repair costs. Roof
de-icing cable prevents this water and ice damage by providing a clear path
for melting water to flow off the roof. It keeps roof edges, gutters and downspouts ice-free.
Versatile design adapts to most roof and gutter configurations.
This product is intended for the sole use of
preventing ice dams from forming on inclined roofs with tab shingles, in
gutters and downspouts. This roof de-icing cable is not intended for use
as a snow melting system to clear roof of ice and snow.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Cable Installation Patterns
(One cable may cover both roof and
gutter areas, or separate cables can be used.)
Selecting and installing the right cable is
simple, just follow these five easy steps:
1. Measure roof overhang and select corresponding
factor:
2. Measure length of roof to be protected and
multiply by factor to obtain length of cable required for the roof.
3. Measure length of gutter (if any).
4. Measure length of cable to go around dormers (if any).
5. Measure length of downspouts. Multiply by 2 if double cable is used in
downspout.
Total length of cable required is sum of 2, 3, 4
and 5. Select from the standard lengths to meet your
needs. Available lengths are shown on the top of this
box.
Examples: Order cable
length as follows: 3.3 times the roof length for 12" overhang; 4.2 times roof
length for 24" overhang; 5.2 times roof length for 36" overhang.

Optional RS-2 Roof Cable Deicing Control
Control expense and energy use in electric roof cable
protection automatically with Roof Sentry (RS-2). The RS-2 requires two
conditions to be present before it energizes roof deicing cable: cold
temperatures (ON, 38°F; OFF, 48°F) and the presence of
runoff water from the roof in contact with its sensor wire. If only one of the
conditions exists, the control will not energize the cable.
- 1200 Watt capacity at 120 VAC,
one per cable.
- State-of-the art electronic sensor.
- Weather resistant enclosure.
- Installs quickly and easily.
