PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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 heating element in the IceStop heating cable consists of
a continuous core of conductive polymer extruded between
two copper bus wires. As current flows through the core,
the IceStop heating cable regulates its own heat output in
response to ambient conditions.
This self-regulating feature eliminates hot spots and results
in better temperature control to protect roof and gutter
materials.
The IceStop heating cable is available with a fluoropolymer
outer jacket (-XT) that provides maximum abrasion,
chemical, and mechanical resistance; or a polyolefin outer
jacket (-X) that is more economical for less demanding
applications.
Low installed cost
The IceStop heating cable’s parallel circuitry allows it to be
cut to the exact length required, with no wasted cable.
All of these characteristics simplify and streamline the
design of a roof and gutter de-icing system. Installation is
quick and simple. The same features that make an IceStop
system easy to install the first time also simplify additions or
changes to the system during building renovations.
