SR Cable Layout Design Guidelines
Sloped Roof with Gutter.
Run GutterMelt
®
up the roof until it extends
6” to 12” inside the exterior (cold) wall. Extend at least 2 to 3 inches into
the gutter with each loop.
Valleys.
Extend GutterMelt
®
a minimum of two-thirds of the way up each
valley with a double run of GutterMelt
®
, as shown above.
Roof Intersection.
Extend a loop of GutterMelt
®
a minimum of two-
thirds of the way up the slope, positioning the cable not more than 2 to 3
inches away from the adjacent wall.
Sloped Roof without Gutters.
Heatizon recommends heated gutters
and downspouts to provide a continuous path for water. If a gutter is not
used, extend a drip loop of GutterMelt
®
cable past the shingle overhang
to allow water to drip free of the roof edge.
Roof Clips on a Sloped Roof with Asphalt Shingles.
(Heatizon Part #
HT386530 or HT386530R)are attached with a screw or nail, GutterMelt
®
cable is installed, then a water-sealing caulking is applied around the
clips, screws, and nails to prevent leaks.
Sloped Roof with Gutter and a Valley.
Extend GutterMelt
®
a minimum
of two-thirds of the way up each valley. Extend the GutterMelt
®
into the
gutter. If there is no gutter, the GutterMelt
®
cable should extend past the
shingle overhang to allow water to drip free of the roof edge.
Standing Seam Roof without Gutters.
Heatizon recommends heated
gutters and downspouts to provide a continuous path for water. The
cable is installed up and down each seam traveling to the next seam
along the roof face to protect it from sliding snow.
Standing Seam Roof without Gutters but with Snow Guards.
Heatizon recommends heated gutters and downspouts to provide a con-
tinuous path for water. If snow guards are used a zig zag pattern can be
used below the snow guards since the snow guards provide protection
for the cable. Install roof clips along the front face of the roof eave from
water to drain from the roof.
