terminate one circuit for both power connection
and end termination (junction box by others).
2. CL-1 “Electric Heat Tracing” labels peel and stick
to junction boxes, breaker panels and control
panel(s), or as required by code or specification.
3. RG-CMC cable mounting clips secure RGS heating
cable to the roof utilizing screws and a waterproof
cover material.
4. RG-CRF cable roof fasteners attach RGS heating
cable to roof or fascia materials. Can be secured
with fasteners or adhesives compatible with
roofing material.
5. RG-DCH downspout cable hanger secures
heating cable at downspouts to remove strain at
lip of downspout/gutter contact point.

Application Details
7. Roof Drains
Roof drains may require heat tracing to prevent
blockage due to ice buildup. Heating cable
should extend a minimum of 300 mm (12") into
the heated portion of the building. If building is
unheated, extend heat tracing down to the storm
sewer (see 8. at right).
8. Downspouts to Underground Storm Sewers
When downspouts are routed to storm sewers
located below the frost line, extend the RGS cable
down to the point where the vertical drain meets
the horizontal drain. The cable should not extend
into the horizontal drain line.
