Installation in gutters

and downpipes

First Steps:

•

Measure the lengths of gutters and downpipes

•

Determine the unit heating power

•

Select appropriate cable length according to Table 1

When calculating the heating cable lengths take the following

into consideration:

•

If the calculated heating cable length does not have an exact

equivalent specified in Table 1, you can select a longer heating cable

and place the additional section in the gutter

•

You can select two heating sets, one set for the gutter and a separate

set for the downpipe

•

If the water from downpipes is drained directly into the sewage

system, then the section of the drainage pipe from ground level

to the frost penetration depth must be heated
