• "End of run" downspouts. If a downspout exists at the end of the
run of the roofline being treated, the cable must be routed down the
inside of the downspout. There is no need to route it back up. Do
not wrap the cable around the downspout or attempt to attach it to
the outside.
Pull cable into downspouts using weighted string. Be sure the run of cable
is flush with the end of the downspout and that no cable is extended
out the end of the downspout (see Figure 22). Remember: to avoid
overheating the cable and increasing the risk of fire or electric shock,
no part of the downspout may pass through a building.
If at this point you find that you have an excess of cable, you may route
the cable back up the downspout to take up this excess. Alternatively,
triangles on the roof can be made larger (up to 20 feet in height) or
cable loops in valleys can be extended.
If you have a shortage of cable (the end of the cable does not reach
to the bottom of the downspout), you may reduce the height of the
triangles on areas of the roof that are less susceptible to ice dams.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire electric shock, or ice dam for-
mation, do not cut splice or alter the deicing cable in anyway. The cable
length cannot be changed.

Tighten clips and cable spacers. Tighten clips and spacers on the roof.
You may do this with your fingers or with pliers. If you use pliers, squeeze
gently and use care to avoid pinching, crimping, cutting into, or otherwise
damaging the cable (see Figure 18). Do not use a hammer to tighten the
clips and spacers.

F. FINAL INSTALLATION STEPS
Check to be sure the cable has not been moved from its intended
position. The heated portion of the cable must be positioned entirely on
the roof and must not touch, cross over or overlap itself.

rent and future users. The label is provided in three languages. Use the
language(s) that are appropriate for you. Pass the labels with other languages
onto future users/homeowners.
Place the labels for the Circuit Breaker/Fuse Panel near the appropriate
circuit breaker/fuse so that they are clearly visible to current and future
users. These labels are provided in three languages. Use the language(s)
that are appropriate for you. Pass the labels with other languages onto
future users/homeowners.
Give the instructions to the user. If you have installed the cable for
someone else's use, give this owner's manual to them.
