DESCRIPTION:

SR self-regulating heating cables are designed for
a variety of pipe freeze protection as well as roof

and gutter deicing applications. The heat output
(wattage) increases and decreases based on the

temperature, so the cable adjusts automatically to
varying climate conditions. This unique feature
ensures maximum energy efficiency by increasing
the heat output only when it is needed. No
thermostat is required.

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Disconnect all power before installing or servicing
the heating cable and accessories. SR heating
cable must be grounded properly in accordance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Failure to
comply can result in personal injury or property
damage. Only a qualified licensed electrical
contractor shall install and service of SR heating
cable and accessories, otherwise the warranty is
voided.

Note:·All electrical wiring, including Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupters (GFCI), must be done according
to the NEC and local codes by a qualified installer.
Article 426 of ANSI/NFPA 70 of National Electrical
Code (NEC section 62 of CAN/CSA-C22.1,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I(CEC) governs the
