In the case of frozen gutters apply two systems: one based on resistance cables Comfort Cable and the second self-Protectors Cables (cable with a protective screen). This self-regulating cable uses a more advanced, easier in the selection and installation, and – most importantly – a more friendly in operation.
Protector type self-regulating cables placed loosely in the gutters and pipes shutter. We choose the cable length at least equal to the length of the gutter (additional 0.5 m on the connector). Thanks resistant to UV rays, and sheathed heating specially selected characteristics (at 0 ° C to 18 W / m in dry gutter and 36 W / m in the water or ice) cables are the best and most economical solution to heating gutters. Changing the heating power cord gives significant energy savings (about 50%) compared with systems based on resistance cables, heating systems with the same effect on the entire length of the gutter.
The second system should be chosen for each individual gutter and drain pipes. Generally, arrange equal to twice the length of the cable troughs. Since the cables are given in several sets, we can not always be found corresponding to twice the length of the gutter. In addition, assembly is more difficult – to not touch the wires and not crossed, use the special accessories spacers. Still remember that after each cleaning gutters virtually every cable we install again.
