Self-Regulating Heating Cable RGS™
Self-Regulating Heating Cable RGS are part of the Thermon SnoTrace™ family of snow and ice melting systems. Designed and approved specifically for roof and gutter applications, RGS withstands direct exposure to harsh environmental conditions.
Due to its self-regulating feature, RGS cable will increase power when exposed to ice and snow. When the cable has cleared the area, the power output will decrease to reduce energy consumption.
Layout of RGS cable for a roof and gutter snow and ice melting system is easy. The step-by-step design guide leads the reader through determining the heating requirements, selecting the cable spacing and establishing the number of heating circuits and accessories required to complete the SnoTrace RGS system.
EASY TO DESIGN AND INSTALL
The layout of RGS for a roof and gutter snow and ice melting system is easy. The step-by-step design
guide leads the reader through determining the heating requirements, selecting the trace heater
spacing and establishing the number of heating circuits and accessories required to complete the
SnoTrace RGS system (for more information, refer to the SnoTrace RGS Design Guide, Form CPD1037).
With cut-to-length parallel circuitry field dimensions of the areas requiring protection are not required. RGS may be simply pulled from the supply reel, cut to length and terminated in the field with ordinary
hand tools. Easy-to-use roof and gutter accessory materials, plus Thermon circuit fabrication kits, complete an installation.
RUGGED AND RELIABLE
RGS self-regulating trace heaters are protected by a tinned copper braid for grounding plus a thick,
abrasion resistant, polyolefin outer jacket containing a UV inhibitor. These components maximize protection during installation and enable years of exposure to the elements.
RGS is inspected along its entire length to verify performance. Backed by the first North American
heat tracing manufacturer with ISO 9001 registration, RGS trace heaters are designed and manufactured to meet the needs of the commercial construction industry
