Attach ice dam heat tape to your asphalt roof without using penetrating fasteners (nails, screws, etc.). Sometimes putting holes through your asphalt shingles will void your roofs warranty. These situations require a solution free of such penetrations to secure your ice dam heat tape, while keeping it securely attached to your roof. The GripClip is the answer.

No other Ice Dam Heat Tape roof clip can be installed as quickly as Radiant Solutions Grip Clip™. With no tools required, the Grip Clip can be placed and repositioned in seconds. Using it’s patented design, the Grip Clip can sturdily hold your Heat Tape without the need to put holes in your roof shingles –something that can nullify the warranty on some roofs.
Grip Clips’ unique design also allows for certain Ice Dam Heat Tape configurations that are very difficult –or even impossible– to achieve with regular ice dam roof clips. One example of this is getting the heat tape to align deep into a roof valley, a common area on roofs for ice dams to form.
Additionally, when doing a full Heat Tape install with Grip Clips, you will generally require less clips then when using standard ice dam heat tap roof clips. This is because the design of the Grip Clip allows for only a single clip on the bottom trough of your heat tape zig-zag, instead of two clips (one on each side of the bottom).

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.

Measuring is not difficult and you can make measurements without going up on your roof or using a ladder if you err on the side of overestimating the distances. Here’s Radiant Solutions Guide to Measuring for Heat Tape, which gives a detailed overview of measuring and some tips and resources, if you think you need it.
Once you have your measurements, you can use our Heat Tape Calculator to help you determine the length of Heat Tape Pro you need, the number of Heat Tape Clips you’ll need, and misc. product considerations.
This includes, but is not limited to:
The type of roof you have determines the roof clips and accessories needed. Check out our Heat Tape Installation Accessories.
Heat Tape PRO can be use with any gutter system made, be it open, closed, metal, plastic, vertical or horizontal. Heat Tape PRO will work throughout the winter to keep an ice free path open for water so it can escape and move away from your home.
Keep in mind that if your home has ice dams in addition to ice in your gutters, you will want to install Heat Tape PRO on your roof to address that problem as well. Heat Cable in the gutters alone will not manage problematic ice on the roof surface.
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.
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.
Heat Tape Pro has the most comprehensive installation system that works on almost any kind of roof type.
