SRP Pre-assembled Self-regulating Cable

DESCRIPTION:

SRP self-regulating pre-assembled heating cables are

designed for a variety of pipe freeze protection as well as roof

and gutter deicing applications. The heat output (wattage)

increases and decreases based on the temperature, so the

cable adjusts automatically to varying climate conditions. This

unique feature ensures maximum energy efficiency by

increasing the heat output only when it is needed. No

thermostat is required.

SRP CABLE FEATURES:

- Rated 6 watts/foot at 40º F, (4º C) for pipe freeze protection.

- Rated 8 watts/foot at 32º F, (0º C) for roof and gutter deicing.

- 30 inch power lead with grounded plug.

- Pre-terminated with 30 inch 120V cord with plug and end

splice.

- Suitable for use on metal and plastic pipes.

- Suitable for metallic and nonmetallic gutters and downspouts.

- Cable will not overheat or burnout when overlapped.

- 16 gauge heating cable bus wire.

- 2 year warranty.

SRP CABLE KIT CONTAINS:

• SRP pre-assembled electric heating cable

• Roof and gutter caution labels

• Pipe trace caution labels

CAUTION:

1. Heating cables must be installed in compliance with the

national electric code (NEC) in addition to state, provincial and

local codes. Check with your local inspector for specific code

requirements (or regulations or standards) in your area.

2. Save these instructions and transfer them to future owner(s).

3. Never install on pipes that could potentially exceed 150º F,

(65º C).

4. Not for use with an extension cord.

5. Cable should not run through the building walls,

ceilings or floors.

6. For safety, King recommends that all heating cables are placed

on a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) circuit.

Consult your local electrical inspector to determine the specific

requirements in your area.

7. Do not cut or alter the length of the cable in any way. Any

alteration may result in electrical shock or fire.

8. Post warning labels supplied with the cable at the power supply

and along the pipe on the outside of the insulation.

9. Do not bend the cable to less than a 1/2” radius.

10.Do not Install cable on shingle roofs in freezing temperatures;

as this may cause damage to the shingles.

11.Cables are intended for freeze protection of water pipes only.

Not intended for use with other liquids or hazardous materials.

12. For installation in accessible areas only.

Heating Cable Installation (Cont.) CHECK FOR PROPER INSTALLATION 1. Before installing the thermal insulation, inspect the heating cable to verify damage did not incur during installation including any thermal damage or other disturbance which may have occurred if exposed to a excessive heat. INSTALL THE THERMAL INSULATION 1. The heat trace system requires weatherproofed thermal insulation installed as shown in Figure 3. 2.

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR ROOF AND GUTTER DEICING 1. SRP cable is designed to remove ice, not accumulated snow. 2. SRP cable will not keep snow or ice from falling off of the roof. Snow fences or snow guards should be used to eliminate snow movement. 3. SRP heating cables may be used on: - Roofs made from all types of roofing materials, such as shake, shingle, rubber, tar, wood, metal, and plastic. - Gutters made from standard materials, such as metal and plastic.
