These roof leaks caused by ice

and economically eliminated by

This heating cable can be in

there are cutters, valleys or
downspouts where snow is likely

This heating cable should be
placed a few inches above where
the ice dam is expected to form
USUALLY about half a foot above
the point where a vertically pro-

would intersect the roof and
also below the lowest point
where ice may form.
Once installed and the electric

operation is approximately one
