Cable Guard is a UV-resistant flexible PVC extrusion with an inner aluminum core designed to quickly snap onto any cable that is 5-6mm thick by 8-13mm wide. It provides protection against many common forms of damage including cuts, punctures and abrasions. It is simple to install and remove and requires no tools. Cable Guard can be cut with a standard tin snips if needed. Common applications include using Cable Guard to protect cable as it makes its transition into the gutter downspout, where cable is exposed on the bottom of the downspout system, where cable comes into contact with any sharp edge and where cable passes through sheet metal, such as through Leaf Guard, Gutter Helmet and other metal gutter screens.

Radiant solutions has developed several accessories and installation components that work well for flat and low-pitch roofs. Installing heat tape on a flat roof often requires more unique considerations than standard serpentine patterns used on pitched roofs.
Check out our Case Studies for examples of Heat Tape installations, including information on flat roofs.

Installing our heat tape on your standing seam roof can be very effective in combating ice dam formation. There’s two main products used to install heat tape on your standing seam metal roof: The S-5 SR Heat Tape Clip, and the standard ice dam heat tape clip.
Installing Heat Tape on a Standing Seam Roof with the S-5 SR Heat Tape Clip
The S-5 Heat Tape Roof Clip is a new, patented roof clip design specifically for standing seam applications with a focus on ease of install and effectiveness. It is used in conjunction with the S-5 Base, which needs to be purchased separately. The S-5 base is designed to clamp onto the seam of a metal roof as the S-5 Clip holds your ice dam heat tape into position. Can be set up in a single or dual-clip configuration. (See product page for more info)
