Product Details

Remote Sensor Extension Kit (EX-50)

The EX-50 is manufactured from cable identical to that used in the remote precipitation sensor. Matching outside diameter means a solid, watertight seal when passed through the top-mount strain relief of the sensor enclosure. The cable comes pre-terminated with a watertight circular connector. The included mating connector can be installed on the end of the sensor cable using standard hand tools. No special crimp tools or soldering is required! And, once mated, the M12 circular connectors provide a rugged IP67-rated watertight connection. The special connector provided also allows extending the cable shield, improving noise immunity and preventing false triggering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Heat Tape Pro can be used on your flat roof and will not harm the roofing material.

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.

heat tape shipping times

Free Shipping

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.

2-Day Shipping

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.

Yes!

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.

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 is no difference.

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.

Other terms we’ve seen used regarding Heat Tape are:

  • Heat Coils & Heating Coils – Heat Tape has been called this because of the way the zig-zag pattern looks like a heating coil-element (like inside of a toaster)
  • Gutter Trace – Heat Tape get’s called this because of the usage in and around gutters
