Open manualFrequently Answers and Questions
How does the cable prevent ice dams?
The cable creates a path for melted snow and ice to drain from the roof, preventing ice from building up and causing damage.
What are the electrical requirements for the cable?
The cable must be plugged into a grounded, ground-fault protected 120-volt outdoor receptacle with a circuit breaker or fuse rated at 20 amps or less. The outlet must be within 6 feet of the starting point of the cable on the roof.
How do I install the cable on my roof?
The manual provides detailed instructions on how to install the cable, including planning the cable arrangement, attaching the cable to the roof with clips and spacers, and routing the cable through gutters and downspouts.
When should I turn the cable on?
Turn the cable on only when conditions are favorable for ice dams to form, typically when snow or ice on the roof is melting and the outside temperature is between 15°F and 35°F.

How to calculate the required de-icing cable length for a roof and downspout?
Estimate the length by multiplying the roof line by the overhang multiplier (e.g., 4.0 for a 12" overhang with gutters) and adding the length of the downspouts multiplied by two. For a 32' roof with a 12" overhang and a 44' downspout, the total is 216 feet. In such cases, choose the next available larger kit, such as the ADKS-1200 (240 feet).
