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 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.
The short answer is NO. Self-regulating heat cable does not turn itself on and off automatically. To do that you need to put the cable on a switched circuit or outlet or on a controller. Of course, you can also be old-school about it and simply plug and unplug as needed.
“Self-Regulating” refers to the fact that these cables are temperature sensitive. Due to their construction, these cables sense changes in temperature along their entire length, demanding more power as temps fall and less when they rise.
PipeFreeeze Pro™, Pipe Freeze Protection Solution has a built in thermostatic switch, meaning it will turn on and off on it’s own.
Heat Tape Pro™, does not contain a built-in thermostatic controller. We recommend adding the ThermaCord™ Thermostatic controller to turn your Heat Tape PRO to turn the cable on and off with changes in temperature.
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.
