Keep your cable systems safe and tidy around the roof with the MPC-325. This clip can be used with any type of heat cable from self-regulating to constant wattage to AV or telecommunications. It is designed to work on asphalt shingle roofs ranging in thickness between 1/8”- 3/8”. Need to run cable vertically up a roof? Dealing with a woven shingle valley with no room for standard clips? Want to secure cable tightly to the lip of an exposed dormer flashing? The MPC-325 is a perfect clip to address the improvisational nature of cable installations in the field.
Installations require NO tools and NO nails or screws, greatly decreasing installation time while also eliminating potential liability associated with using traditional nail-on clips. Additionally, the MPC-325 can be easily repositioned or removed without damaging the roofing materials by simply bending up the top arms of the clip.
How it works: There are six robust aluminum barbs on the body of each MPC-325. These barbs embed, or ‘bite’, into the back of the asphalt shingle, creating a semi-permanent anchor that can be used for many years without creating damage when removed. The MPC-325 is a part of the Patented line of the Grip Clip™ family.

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.
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.
The terms heat cable, heat tape and heat trace are all used interchangeably to described heated cables used to protect pipes from freezing, preventing roof and gutter ice dams from forming and for safeguarding temperature sensitive components.
