RGS
RGS Roof and Gutter De-icing by Self-regulating Heating Cable
RGS electric heat tracing series are used on roofs to provide a continuous drain path for melted ice and snow to flow through the gutter and to the downspout. The self-regulating characteristic adjusts cable’s heat output in accordance with the ambient condition. In snow and icy water, the heating cable operates at full power. As the snow melts and the water drains away, RGS self-regulates to half power. As it gets warmer, the power output will decrease to reduce energy consumption.
Features
Temperature self-regulating, never over-heating, safe to overlap
Can be cut to lengths and terminated in the field
Applicable for all types of roofs and gutters
Designed to be subject to water and sunlight
No temperature controller is required
Energy conservative
