It runs 152 feet and connects with a 9.8-foot power cord, offering flexible layout options for eaves, valleys, gutters, and downspouts while minimizing unnecessary energy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cable stop ice dams on roofs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eastrexon heat tape adds heat along eave edges, gutters, and downspouts to keep meltwater moving off the roof instead of refreezing at the edge. Its self-regulating characteristic raises heat output in colder spots and lowers it as temperatures climb, preventing hot spots and conserving energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstant 8 watts per foot power rating optimizes heat distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-regulating PTC core increases heat where cold is worst.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be laid in zigzag or ladder patterns across critical areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe to overlap or cross sections of the heat cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Eastrexon 120V self-regulating design tolerates overlaps without shorting or burning out, unlike fixed-resistance cables. Overlapping is useful for creating denser warming zones around valleys, gutters, or downspouts where ice accumulates most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePTC element prevents runaway current when cables overlap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour-layer construction includes waterproof jacket and shielding for added protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100% screened AL-MG alloy wire reduces interference and enhances durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat installation and accessories come with the heat tape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEastrexon supplies 60 spacers and clips to secure the cable to roof edges, shingles, or gutter lips, and the cable is compatible with common mounting patterns for eaves and downspouts.
