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.
“Heat Tape Pro did exactly what I needed it to do. Now I don’t have to worry about water leaking into my house, because I can tell when it’s working by the little light on the end of the cable.”

We generally do not reserve stock for miscellaneous reasons outside our stated inventory on this website. Besides selling on this website, we also Sell our products on Amazon.com – in doing so, we send separate inventories to their warehouse for fulfillment, so you could check inventory of the product you are looking for there.
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.
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.
Also refer to the Heat Tape Pro Product Manual for information on flat roof installations of heat tape.
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.
And if you are using Heat Tape Pro on your roof / eave to resolve an ice dam issue, you should use heat tape to make sure there’s a clear path through your gutters for water to escape your roof. If you don’t do that, the water could just refreeze in your gutters. You also want to get the downspouts too.
There is a common misconception that gutters are a root cause of ice dams. This misconception can lead people astray when creating their strategy for ice dam deterrence. If you have an overhang on your roof (an eave), the chances are very good that you problem exists on your roof before the gutter.
