Grip Clips .875

The Grip Clip™- An innovation in securing your Ice Dam Heat Tape 

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.

The Advantages of Grip Clip

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).

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.

There’s two main steps to determining how much Heat Tape you need:

  1. Make a couple simple measurements of your house/roof, while noting a couple aspects of your situation
  2. Use Our Heat Tape Calculator to plug in those numbers, which can tell you how much heat cable you’ll need

Measuring for Heat Tape

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.

The Heat Tape Calculator

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.

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.

Radiant Solutions products, including Ice Dam Prevention products such as Heat Tape Pro and Pipe freeze Prevention products like Pipe Freeze Pro can be purchase here at this website or at Amazon.com.

Including a thermostatic heat tape switch or controller in your installation will cut power to your heat tape in times it is not needed. This will lessen your environmental footprint and save you money.

Savings will always depend on the weather and how often you have temperatures above the threshold that the switch turns on your heat cable. In most situations where heat cable is needed, savings will offset the cost of the ThermaCord and then some.
