19 QuestionsQ: Can I use this product on a metal roof?

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffNo, it is not suitable for use on metal roofs.
Q: can the cable be installed directly in the bottom of metal gutter.
Asked by Coldman 10 years ago
Add your answer
Yes. I made a run the length of the gutter and hooked the loops from the roof to it. I used the hooks so that the cables didn't touch each other. Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S®6 active, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone
Yes it can come out or go up the gutter. Be careful of the sharp edges Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone
Q: can this be used in valleys on roof
Asked by bigboy 11 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffYes, as per the installation instructions "Installing cable in valleys, gutter and down-spouts as well creates an ice-free pathway for water to drain completely from eaves and gutter."
I don't know for sure but I don't see why not as long as the wires are secured to the clips & the clips are secured to the shingles.
I have !
Q: I am planning on a run of 120 feet. Will the temperature be consistent for all 120 feet?
Asked by Ken 11 years ago

Ran it across my building & 3 downspouts, always works.
It works for me over 50 ft doubled and all seems even. I would imagine the heat would eventually be even throughout 120 ft. Ernest Ochsner
Q: Ran over the terminated end of the ADKS-500 with my lawn mower this summer exposing the wires. Is there a diagram available that shows the wiring on the terminated end (not the AC plug end) ?

Q: Is this cable a self regulating cable.
Asked by Jim 12 years ago
Add your answer
No.
No, when it's on - it's on & when it's off- it's off. Up to the homeowner to unplug them when not in use. They do work though , I have them the full length of my house and garage. I love them, great investment.
no- if its plugged in its on. If you want automatic control of OFF/ON you will need thermosensor unit to turn tape on when temperature drops below set point. They range from simple (15 bucks to complex...)
Q: Can this kit work with an installed gutter helmet system? If so how is it installed? Thank you....
Asked by Jerry 12 years ago
Add your answer
the kit will work with any gutter/helmet system. it must be install in the gutter, the kit will supply the fastener hangers for the cable and give some instructions.best if some has some experience to help.
Sorry, I don't know. I think it would require some imagination since the bottom of the heat tape system connects in the gutter.
DO NOT USE ON PLASTIC OR RUBBER AS CABLE GETS FAIRLY WARM, MAY MELT OR WARP. USE METAL CLIPS THAT COME WITH CABLE MAY HAVE TO MODIFY A LITTLE TO CLIP ON IF THE GUTTER HELMET IS ALUMINUM Sent from Windows Mail
Q: how many kw does 160 feet of cable use a month?
Asked by Jim 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupplyStaff160ft is rated at 800w. To find the total Kwh per month, multiply the number of hours of operation by 0.8
Not really sure how much it uses. I have a big house & have it on (3) 40ft & (2) 27th roofs + in the gutters & down thru the downspout drains. My electric bill did take a hike but is well worth it as I have had NO ice/snow issues. Sorry I couldn't be more specific with the cost
I do not know. I just won't to get rid of the snow. Sent from my iPad
Q: CAN THIS CABLE BE WRAPPED AROUND DOWNSPOUT
Asked by GENE 12 years ago
Add your answer
Probably but it won't do its job there. Won't put out enough heat
have not tried it. I have just put it inside the down spout
You might be able to, but the best solution is to feed the cable down the interior of the downspout. You can create a "U" with the cable connecting the length needed with the connectors provided. This method allows you to use one cable for the eave and the downspouts. Just make sure the cable you buy is long enough. I had two downspouts in one run of getters and was able to do this with no issues. On my longest run (68') I used two of the longest cables starting at each end and met in the middle.
Yes but doesn't stay wrapped around it very well. I also dropped some down inside my downspout. Between both inside and around downspout + along roof edges I've had NO ice build up or problems in past 2yrs.
Yes, inside or outside the downspout. I suggest inside. Not sure of the impact on the outside with freezing downspouts.
No I would not recommend wrapping deicing cables around the downspout. They go inside the downspout, you need the heat inside
