nVent RAYCHEM IceStop is a roof and gutter de-icing system that provides drain paths for the following applications:
- Roofs made from standard roofing materials, including shake, shingle, rubber, tar, wood, metal, and plastic.
- Gutters made from standard materials, including metal, plastic, and wood.
- Downspouts made from standard materials, including metal and plastic.
The self-regulating feature eliminates hot spots and results in better temperature control to protect roof and gutter materials.
Low installed cost
The IceStop heating cable’s parallel circuitry allows it to be cut to the exact length required, with no wasted cable.
Roof and gutter frost protection cable is 36 W/m in ice and 18 W/m in air at 0 Deg C.
All gutters, down pipes and roof edges shall be fitted with an energy efficient, self-regulating trace heating system, nVent RAYCHEM GM2X or GM-2XT, as manufactured by nVent, to prevent winter damage and icicle formation.
The system shall be complete with cold components, energy efficient controls and a 10 year product warranty.
The nVent RAYCHEM self-regulating heating cables shall be capable of demonstrating a lifetime in excess of 25 years.
The self-regulating heating cables shall have modified polyolefin electrical insulation (radiation cross-linked, to ensure long life expectancy), tinned copper braid and UV resistant, modified polyolefin or fluoropolymer over jacket with metre marks for ease of installation.
The heating cables shall be capable of demonstrating a power output of 36W/m in iced water and 18W/m in the air at 0°C, installed at a maximum circuit length of 80 metres
