The PSR if directly plugged to the GFI rated outlet will always be on. At colder temperatures, it will draw a higher power requirement to produce the right amount of heat to prevent ice dams on the roof. There is the option to use the RS2 to limit the operation of the cable when the temperature is below 40F and melting water is present.
Yes, this cable is suitable for use on pex tubing.
Yes, The Easy Heat SRES End Seal Kit is for use with all versions of Easy Heat’s SR heater cables for pipe tracing and roof and gutter applications, for end-of-line termination/sealing.
PSR pipe tracing heating cable is only approved for use in roof deicing, and pipe freeze protection installations.
The diameter of the cable is 3.66 mm.
Same size should be sufficient. Tape the seams to prevent a cold draft from being induced if you're in the northern regions and subject to below zero extended with wind. Try to get the heat tape into the center of the pipe insulation for the best transfer of heat. Ric Evans
Yes, you can use Easy Heat PSR heating cable on PEX tubing.
The only information the manufacturer provides is the heat output of the cable at 50F which is 5 watts per foot. However to attempt to determine this look at the SR Trace as a reference which is a similar cable to the PSR. The SR Trace would have an average heat density or a nominal power output in ice of about 8 watts per foot. Therefore, it is safe to say that PSR would also have an average heat density of 8 watts per foot when de-icing.
Yes I bought this same cable to keep downspouts clear of ice in winter. The first winter, I just tie-wrapped it to outside of a solid ice filled downspout and it melted the ice in a few days and kept it clear that winter That spring, I put it inside of the downspout and looped it down into the soil pipe and back out at the juncture of the soil pipe to a receptacle. If you have a receptacle at the top of the gutter this is much better, since you could snake it down the downspout into the soil pipe with no loopback Make sure it goes 4' below grade into the soil pipe or it will not work. If no soil pipe just to end of downspout that goes on your lawn. If you plan to use in gutters, you should also have heat cables on the roof, else ice dams can form which will prevent meltwater from reaching the gutters. Good luck! Sent from my iPad
I've used it that way with no problems. I had to rivet a few brackets to the bottom of the gutter to hold it there, and it worked fine. I've even run it inside the downspout with no problems.
Yes it can be put directly on metal. I have a metal roof and use this cable to melt snow and ice along the edge. I attached it directly to the metal. Donald Bayer
It is better to spiral the cable around the cable if you have enough cable to do so, but you can still get freeze protection by running the cable along the side of the pipe. The pipe/cable should always be insulated.
Yes you can. As long as it is a storm water manhole and drainage system vs sewer also. Due to gas build up and adding electrical to it.
