Sometimes, there’s just no option to clip or fasten your Heat Tape into place and you don’t want mess with messy adhesives. With StickyClip, you can just peel, stick, and place you heat tape where you need it.
Each clip holds 30 pounds of load and employs industrial adhesive pads with a working temperature range of 200º F to -40º F; criteria far beyond the demands of any real-world heat tape application. StickyClips have been through 13 months of rigorous testing both in the 3M test lab and our test outdoor test facility in Minnesota. To install, quickly clean the surface and stick the clip. Heat cable can be installed immediately.
“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.”

StickyClip™ roof clips are designed for smooth, non-porous surfaces where nails or screws aren’t an option. They work on flat metal, rubber membrane (EPDM), TPO, PVC, gutters, and other smooth surfaces where traditional clips won’t hold.
Each StickyClip™ can hold up to 30 pounds of pull force -more than enough for any heat cable installation. The industrial 3M VHB adhesive backing provides a permanent, weatherproof bond.
Yes. StickyClips are engineered for extreme conditions, with a tested performance range from -40°F to 200°F. They’ve been through more than a year of testing in both 3M’s lab and in outdoor Minnesota winters.
Clean the surface thoroughly, peel the backing, and press the clip firmly in place. For best results, install when temps are above 60°F to maximize adhesion. Once installed, StickyClips can be loaded immediately - no long cure time required.
Plan for one clip every 24 inches along the top and bottom of zig-zag runs of heat tape. For valleys, figure about six clips spaced 30–36 inches apart. The number of clips needed for flat or low slope heat cable installations will depend on the layout. We suggest drawing out your system on paper in order to count up the number of clips required.
Yes. StickyClips are designed to hold Heat Tape Pro securely while allowing for normal thermal expansion. They also work with most standard self-regulating roof de-icing cables in the 5-6 mm × 8-13 mm range.
StickyClips are designed for permanent installation. Removal is possible but can be difficult and may leave adhesive residue. Plan on StickyClips being a long-term part of your roof de-icing cable system.
Yes. Clean the surface to remove dirt, dust, oil, or debris and make sure it’s dry before installation. Use isopropyl alcohol. No primer is needed, just a clean, dry surface for maximum adhesion.
Each clip has its place. StickyClips are the best choice for smooth or non-penetrating installs on metal or membrane roofs. Grip Clips are the fastest tool-free solution for asphalt shingled roof systems including asphalt shingles, wood shingles and shakes, synthetic shakes and synthetic slate. The right clip depends on your roof material.
StickyClips are rated from -40°F to 200°F once installed. For best adhesive performance, install when temperatures are above 50°F if possible. After installation, they’ll hold securely through any weather conditions.
StickyClips are made with UV-stable, weather-resistant materials and are engineered for years of outdoor use. With proper installation, they’ll provide reliable performance season after season.
We keep StickyClips (LEO-215-1 and LEO-215-2) 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.

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.
Every Length of Heat Tape Pro has a cord length of 10-feet that is not included in the listed/state length. Meaning: A 100-foot Heat Tape pro will have a 100 feet of heated cable + a 10-foot unheated power cord.
Every Length of Pipe Freeze Pro has a cord length of 3-feet (36″) that is not included in the listed/state length. Meaning: A 30-foot Heat Tape pro will have a 30 feet of heated cable + a 3-foot unheated power cord.
