When it comes to ice Dams, gutters that are particularly problematic sometimes require more then one run of heat tape to keep clear passages for water to escape. To maximize the effectiveness of a double-run setup, positioning the two cables optimally is key. The Heat Tape Gutter Separator Clip is designed to position two runs of Ice Dam Heat Tape within the gutter to maximize performance.

The whole point of heat tape is to create channels in ice to let the melting water escape. When it comes to conveying the water away from the source of ice, gutters can often play a key role. Sometimes that requires more then one run of heat tape within the gutter to create an additional channels for water to flow. Using the Heat Tape Gutter Separator Clip makes it extremely easy to get optimal placement of you heat tape within the gutter basin.

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)
Installing Heat Tape on a Standing Seam Roof with Standard Roof Clips
There are specific ways/configurations used when installing heat tape on a standing seam / metal roof using standard heat tape clips. The following (2.6 – figure 16.0 & 17.0) shows a snippet of the HeatTape Pro installation manual showing two different clip configurations, more info can be found in the manual itself: Heat Tape Pro installation Manual
The Free Shipping option uses available “standard” delivery methods for whichever carrier services your location. For many that means UPS ground, but for locations that UPS doesn’t go to –or is too expensive, we substitute a different carrier.
We are based in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) metro area, so depending on where you are located, your shipping time will vary.

If you can’t wait for your product to arrive via UPS ground, Radiant Solutions also offers a paid, 2-day shipping option. One thing to keep in mind: our cables are fairly heavy, which mean they are expensive for us to ship. This means that they are even more expensive to ship expeditiously. A little bit of planning ahead can save you some good money.
We have a calculated rate based on the product in your cart if you choose to ship to Canada or Alaska.
