Product Details

Remote Sensor Extension Kit (EX-50)

The EX-50 is manufactured from cable identical to that used in the remote precipitation sensor. Matching outside diameter means a solid, watertight seal when passed through the top-mount strain relief of the sensor enclosure. The cable comes pre-terminated with a watertight circular connector. The included mating connector can be installed on the end of the sensor cable using standard hand tools. No special crimp tools or soldering is required! And, once mated, the M12 circular connectors provide a rugged IP67-rated watertight connection. The special connector provided also allows extending the cable shield, improving noise immunity and preventing false triggering.

No plug-in ready Heat Tape should be cut, modified or altered.

Heat Tape Pro and Pipe Freeze Pro are offered in many lengths from 6-foot up to 150-foot. These products are not designed to be modified, so you should pick the length you need and work with that length. These cables should not be altered and doing so would void any warranty on the product.

Radiant Solutions DOES offer heat tape on spools that can be cut to any length by you.

We offer heat tape on spools from 250-foot to 1000-foot. These spools are designed to be cut to length, made into multiple cables, etc. Heat Tape on spools needs to be hard-wired into a junction box, or have a power connection plug-in manually added to it for use. It also requires ends to be properly sealed and terminated. When working with Heat Tape on spools, a Licensed Electrician should be utilized to assure proper wiring per regional codes and standards.

Here’s a handy guide that explains the steps of measuring so you know which length of heat tape to get.

Measuring the area of your roof that is affected by ice dams so you know how much heat tape to get is not overly complex, but it does have a few variables. Use our Heat Tape Measuring Guide to understand the process and print a worksheet that you can use to make sure you have all the right numbers.

Once you have all the measurements and considerations you need, use our Heat Tape Calculator to calculate the size of heat tape you should get.

Yes!

And if you are using Heat Tape Pro on your roof / eave to resolve an ice dam issue, you should use heat tape to make sure there’s a clear path through your gutters for water to escape your roof. If you don’t do that, the water could just refreeze in your gutters. You also want to get the downspouts too.

Be careful if you plan on using heat tape Only in your gutters.

There is a common misconception that gutters are a root cause of ice dams. This misconception can lead people astray when creating their strategy for ice dam deterrence. If you have an overhang on your roof (an eave), the chances are very good that you problem exists on your roof before the gutter.
