The GMK-RC roof clip and GM-RAKE hanger bracket kits are for
use with Raychem IceStop heating cables. Carefully follow these
instructions. Do not use other hardware or techniques which may
damage the heating cable and cause electrical hazard, fire damage or
poor performance.

The GMK-RC roof clips are used to secure IceStop heating cables to
roofs and gutters. For applications where nails and screws will be
used to install clips, go to page 2. For applications where adhesive will
be used to install clips, go to page 3. A box of 50 clips are included with
each IceStop heating cable.

protection to the IceStop heating cable as it goes over sharp edges and
to hold the heating cable in place at the top of downspouts. Refer to
page 4 for instruction on how to install the GM-RAKE hanger bracket.
