The S-5 Heat Tape Clip is the ultimate solution for the installation of ice dam heat tape on your standing seam roof. Allowing for easier installation then other standing seam heat tape clips, our S-5 SR clip can be installed 3 times faster because the clips can be installed on your S-5 base without the cable, and then can be easily adjusted without the need to unscrew hardware. Features a curved cable-grip to prevent sharp metal-edges from cutting into and compromising your heat tape and/or the product warranty. Available in quantities of 10. The S-5 Base is required to use this product.
The Radiant Solutions S-5 SR Universal Heat Tape clips features a slotted mount-opening for added positioning options, making it work for more standing seam heat tape installations. This clip can be installed without the heat tape inside it, making the process much easier to position them and place your heat tape later. Additionally use a 2-clip configuration on each S-5 clip for some unique and advantageous positioning of your Ice Dam heat tape.

The S-5-SR-U roof clips are designed to attach Heat Tape Pro and other self-regulating roof de-icing cables to standing seam metal roofs in conjunction with the S-5 roof clamp system (sold separately). Like the standard SR-S5 clip, they hold heat cable securely without adhesives, nails or screws penetrating your roof—but with the added benefit of some additional adjustability relating to the slotted bolt hole, which allows for the cradle to be positioned.
Yes. The S-5-SR-U clip mounts onto an S-5 base clamp (sold separately). The most common choice is the S-5-S clamp, but SR-U clips also work with other S-5 base clamps that accept M8 bolts, including S-5-N, S-5-E, and others. You’ll need both clamps and SR-U clips for a complete installation.
The count depends on how many seams you plan to address with heat cable. Under most circumstances, each S-5 base clamp will use at least two S-5-SR-U heat tape roof clips. The advantage of the SR-U is that clips can be added or repositioned without unbolting hardware, making system adjustments faster.
No. S-5-SR-U clips are specifically for standing seam metal roofs where the S-5 roof clamp can be used. If you have corrugated or trapezoidal exposed-fastener panels (like R-panel or AG panel), use our JS-222 heat cable roof clips. For flat or membrane roofs, oversized adhesive-mounted roof clips such as the DDK-719-1 or DDK-719-2 are the better choice.
The S-5-SR-U is the universal, tool-free version of the S-5-SR clip. You can slide and adjust SR-U clips on the base clamp without removing hardware, saving even more installation time. Like the standard SR, they feature a curved cradle that prevents sharp edges from cutting into the heat tape jacket and voiding warranties.
Yes. They’re designed specifically to fit Heat Tape Pro and other self-regulating roof de-icing cables in the 5–6 mm × 8–13 mm range. The cradle grips the heat cable securely without pinching or damaging it.
Installation is easy. The S-5 base clamp attaches to the seam and the S-5-SR-U clips lock into place on the clamp using the included M8 bolt. This makes them the fastest option for attaching roof de-icing cables to standing seam roofs.
Yes. Multiple S-5-SR-U clips can mount on a single base clamp. This is common.
No. The S-5 system is completely non-penetrating. Clamps grip the seams with setscrews, and the S-5-SR-U heat tape clips attach to those clamps. This method is widely accepted by roofing manufacturers and does not void warranties when installed correctly.
Yes. Like all Radiant Solutions products, S-5-SR-U clips are backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.

PipeFreezePRO comes with one or more 30ft rolls of high-quality fiberglass tape, but you can use any tape with a temperature rating of 150º F and above. Self-adhesive aluminum foil tape can be used but avoid standard tapes, including electrical tape and duct tape because they lose their adhesion when exposed to heat. Remember, it’s imperative to cover the pipe/heat tape assembly with pipe insulation (1/2″ minimum thickness). Think four easy steps: 1) cable on pipe, 2) tape on cable, 3) insulation on pipe/cable and 4) tape on insulation.
Pipe Freeze PRO can be overlapped during installation. This is a fundamental advantage of self-regulating heat cable over cheap, constant wattage cable found in hardware stores is that it can be overlapped without risk of shorting out or catching fire. So yes, overlap away!
The amount of heat cable needed for pipe freeze prevention is determined by a couple of simple factors including: Length of pipe, diameter of pipe, distance to power supply and number of valves.
Most of the time, we do not recommend a spiral cable application because it’s simply not necessary. It requires 3x the cable to do the same job.
Therefore, simply use a straight, single run of cable affixed to the bottom of the pipe (think 6 o’clock position) using the provided fiberglass installation tape. Next, add 1 foot of cable for every valve because you will be wrapping the valve with cable. For pipes less than 1″ in diameter, a single cable run is sufficient. For larger pipes, two cable runs are recommended. Keep in mind that plastic pipes are less thermally conductive so you may choose to use two cable runs on larger plastic pipes to be safe. Finally, if your outlet isn’t close to the pipe you are treating, factor in enough heat cable to reach your outlet (Pipe Freeze PRO does come with a 36″ power cord).
Finally, you must install insulation on your pipe and heat cable assembly in order for the system to operate effectively. See instructions for further details.
The cable can be exposed to wetness but the thermostat must stay dry to function properly. Use Pipe Freeze PRO for pipe freeze prevention applications only.
Consider using Heat Tape Pro inside of open drain pipes as that cable is rated for use in wet areas.

Pipe Freeze Pro’s integrated thermostat turns power on and off automatically to the cable to save electricity. The thermostat is the lump located between the power cord and the heat cable. The thermostat triggers the cable to turn on at 37ºF and off at 50ºF, with a sensitivity range of +/- 4ºF. It’s a great feature that makes Pipe Freeze Pro unique among heat cables on the market.
Yes and no. The cable is approved for exposure to wet conditions but you should keep the thermostat dry for proper operation.
No. The thermostat need only be exposed to cold air. It does not hurt to have the thermostat attached to the pipe but it is not necessary. If you choose to attach it to the pipe keep in mind that the thermostat should not be covered with insulation.
No. You want the thermostat to react to the cold environment so it triggers the Pipe Freeze Pro to turn on.
