Heated Roof Drainage Raceway with Self Adjusting Heating Cable Cavity
If roof top snow melt water is allowed to refreeze on the colder areas of the roof, an ice dam can be formed. A heated drainage path ensures this water is drained away from the structure's foundation. The various sheet metal raceway products disclosed contain spring-like folded members to securely press against the self-regulating heating cable, thereby maximizing the thermal conduction between the heating cable and the sheet metal raceways. The spring-like members of the raceways ensure a tight thermal contact to heating cables of different thicknesses. The spring-like members compensate for metal fatigue to provide a longer useful life of the installed system. The system also allows easy end of life replacement of the heating cable.
