Heatizon Systems GutterMelt®SR rain gutter, eaves trough, downspout, and eave

deicing systems provide heat to maintain water flow paths on eaves, and in gutters,

downspouts and drains. This heating cable is placed directly on top of the roofing

material and/or in the rain gutter, downspouts and drains of a building. Heatizon

Systems products can be activated by a large variety of activation alternatives ranging

from a simple switch to an automatic temperature moisture sensor.

FAST & EASY INSTALLATION

Heatizon Systems GutterMelt®SR system utilizes easy to install

SR cable to provide reliable freeze protection of roofs, gutters,

downspouts and roof drains. Simply run the cable in gutters

using foil tape with pressure sensitive adhesive to secure cable

placement, or Heatizon roof clips (Heatizon Part #HT386530 or

#HT386530R). Roof clips attach the cable to standard roof

covering material. The cable can also be inserted in downspouts

using downspout hangers or brackets (Heatizon Part #HT38411

or #HT386412) to support the heating cable. GutterMelt® SR

cable may be cut to length in the field making installation easy

and convenient.

VALUE

Winter has many freeze thaw cycles that can cause millions of dollars

of damage to roofs, gutters, downspouts, and drains every year. As

winter progresses buildings experience ice buildup which can lead to

roof damage, or damage caused by snow and ice falling from the roof.

These cycles can cause ice to accumulate and back up under

shingles, resulting in ice dams. In some cases, damage appears in the

form of soaked insulation, stained, cracked and damaged sheet rock,

damp, smelly, rotting wall cavities and stained, blistered and peeling

paint. Heatizon Systems has the products and expertise to effectively

solve potential winter issues and protect your investment by

managing ice dams, minimizing icicles, and keeping ice from

accumulating in gutters and downspouts.

What GutterMelt won’t do?

• Prevent snow movement on/off the roof

• Remove accumulated snow and ice from roofs, gutters and

downspouts

ENERGY EFFICIENT AND COST EFFECTIVE

GutterMelt®SR is 100% efficient and automatically adjusts its heat output and energy consumption as the temperature conditions

change. When precipitation is expected, simply energize the cable. The cable provides maximum melting power when snow or

ice is present, but will automatically regulate its output and save energy when the roof and gutters are clear of snow and ice.

resitance using a 2500 VDC Megohmmeter,

verify and record the actual results at specific

points throughout the installation process. A

resistance recording page is included in this

manual for this purpose. If the taken readings

are at anytime less than 20 megohms

replace or repair the damaged cable. Do not

energize the damaged GutterMelt®SR, and

call Heatizon Systems.

GutterMelt®SR Cable

Available in 5W/ft, 9W/ft, & 12W/ft

GutterMelt®SR Cable Layout Design Guidelines

Sloped Roof with Gutter. Run GutterMelt®up the roof until it extends

6” to 12” inside the exterior (cold) wall. Extend at least 2 to 3 inches into

the gutter with each loop.

Valleys. Extend GutterMelt®a minimum of two-thirds of the way up each

valley with a double run of GutterMelt®, as shown above.

Roof Intersection. Extend a loop of GutterMelt®a minimum of two-

thirds of the way up the slope, positioning the cable not more than 2 to 3

inches away from the adjacent wall.

Sloped Roof without Gutters. Heatizon recommends heated gutters

and downspouts to provide a continuous path for water. If a gutter is not

used, extend a drip loop of GutterMelt®cable past the shingle overhang

to allow water to drip free of the roof edge.

Roof Clips on a Sloped Roof with Asphalt Shingles. (Heatizon Part #

HT386530 or HT386530R)are attached with a screw or nail, GutterMelt®

cable is installed, then a water-sealing caulking is applied around the

clips, screws, and nails to prevent leaks.

Sloped Roof with Gutter and a Valley. Extend GutterMelt®a minimum

of two-thirds of the way up each valley. Extend the GutterMelt®into the

gutter. If there is no gutter, the GutterMelt®cable should extend past the

shingle overhang to allow water to drip free of the roof edge.

Standing Seam Roof without Gutters. Heatizon recommends heated

gutters and downspouts to provide a continuous path for water. The

cable is installed up and down each seam traveling to the next seam

along the roof face to protect it from sliding snow.

Standing Seam Roof without Gutters but with Snow Guards.

Heatizon recommends heated gutters and downspouts to provide a con-

tinuous path for water. If snow guards are used a zig zag pattern can be

used below the snow guards since the snow guards provide protection

for the cable. Install roof clips along the front face of the roof eave from

water to drain from the roof.

Roof Clips on Standing Seam Roof with Gutter. Roof Clips

are attached using Roof Clip Adhesive (Heatizon Part #

HT386530AD). Attach the clips to the roof and allow adhesive

to cure before threading cable through the clips.

Standing Seam Roof with Gutter. Run GutterMelt®up the

seam until it extends 6” to 12” inside of the exterior (cold) wall.

Extend at least 2 to 3 inches into the gutter with each loop.

Downspout Attachments and Sharp Edge

Protection. Use Downspout Hanger Kit

(Heatizon Part # HT386411) or Downspout

Hanger Bracket Kit (Heatizon Part #

HT386412) to attach GutterMelt®in down-

spout or drain to prevent damage to cable.

Downspouts. A continuous path for melt water can be maintained by running the Gut-

terMelt®inside the downspout to the bottom, and extend a small drip loop at the bottom

of the downspout. If the downspout drain extends below grade, GutterMelt®Cable

should extend into a heated area or below the frost line to effectively protect downspouts

and drains.

GutterMelt®SR Cable Layout Design Guidelines

Flat Roof. Position GutterMelt®heating cable around the perimeter of a flat roof. Run

GutterMelt®in valleys from the perimeter to the drain and extend the GutterMelt®

cable into drains and downspouts so that cable extends at least 12 inches into interior/

heated space.
