Standing Seam Metal Roof Clips 10-Pack FAQs

How do I know which size GVG standing seam heat tape clip I need?

Measure the width of your standing seam. Keep in mind that if you're installing with adhesive, the clip should be slightly larger than the width of the scene, ⅛” up to ¼” is fine. We offer three sizes: .325" clips for seams ⅛"–⅜" wide .500" clips for seams ¼"–½" wide .625" clips for seams ½"–⅝" wide Accurate measurement ensures a snug fit and strong hold.

How many standing seam roof heat cable clips do I need?

Your clip count will depend on the number of seams. You are installing Heat Tape Pro self regulating heat cable on. Your seam spacing may be 16 inches or up to 24 inches in some cases. Each seam gets one clip on the top and one on the bottom. Simply multiply the number of seams by 2 to get your clip count. It's always a good idea to order a couple extra clips just in case.

Will these clips work with my standing seam metal roof?

Yes, as long as your seams are at least 1¼" high. Most modern standing seam roofs meet this requirement. If your seams are shorter, these clips may not grip properly.

What tools do I need to install standing seam heat cable clips?

None, unless you plan on fastening your clips to your seams with the provided self tapping sheet metal screws. Most people simply use SB-190 adhesive to install their clips on their standing sea metal roof. Installation is fast, usually less thanYo a minute per clip.

Are these heat tape clips compatible with all types of roof de-icing cable?

Yes. Our GVG standing seam roof clips are designed to fit Heat Tape Pro as well as most standard self-regulating and constant wattage heat tape in the 5-6 mm × 8-13 mm range.

Do GVG standing seam heat cable clips come with mounting screws?

Yes. Each 10-pack includes 20 stainless sheet metal screws-two per clip. But generally speaking most people use SB-190 adhesive to install their clips as this approach results in no additional penetrations in the roof system.

How do these heat cable clips compare to other clips?

These are engineered specifically for standing seam metal roofs. Unlike nail-on clips for shingles, they sit directly onto the standing seam rib, creating a strong hold.

Will GVG standing seam heat cable clips hold up in harsh winter weather?

Yes. Made from 5052 aluminum alloy, these clips are corrosion-resistant and built for freeze-thaw durability.

Can I install these clips without damaging my roof?

Yes.

What’s the difference between the .325", .500", and .625" standing seam heat tape clips?

Only the seam width they accommodate. All three models use the same construction, warranty, and installation method, the only difference is which seam size they fit. Choose based on your measured seam width for the best fit.

How quickly can I get my GVG heat cable clips for my roof de-icing project?

We keep them in stock and ship same day from Minnesota, don’t ‘cha know (assuming you don’t order too late in the day!). Orders placed over the weekend will ship the next business day.

General FAQs

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. 

Totally.

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.

No. Pipe Freeze PRO is not designed for use in outdoor conditions.

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.

No. It is not recommended to use Pipe Freeze Pro inside of pipes.

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.

Can Pipe Freeze Pro get wet?

Yes and no. The cable is approved for exposure to wet conditions but you should keep the thermostat dry for proper operation.

Does the thermostat/sensor need to be touching the Pipe?

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.

Should the thermostat be under the insulation?

No. You want the thermostat to react to the cold environment so it triggers the Pipe Freeze Pro to turn on.
