Appleton adks-300 Roof Gutter De-icing Heat Cable 300W 60ft

Product Description

The APPLETON adks-300 is a self-regulating-style roof and gutter de-icing heat trace cable designed to prevent ice dams and clear standing water from gutters, downspouts, and roof edges during cold weather. Rated at 300 watts and 120 volts, the cable spans 60 feet and delivers 5 watts per foot of consistent heat output. A 6-foot power cord and plug are included, allowing direct connection to a standard 120-volt outlet without additional wiring. The kit is residential grade and intended for installation by electricians or experienced property maintenance professionals familiar with low-voltage heat trace systems.

This heat cable is suited for residential rooflines where ice dam formation causes water infiltration and structural damage. Typical applications include asphalt shingle and metal roofs, K-style and half-round gutters, and vertical downspout runs. The kit includes roof clips and cable spacers to maintain consistent cable positioning along the roofline, and two CSK-12 cable spacer kits are also included in the package. The 60-foot length accommodates standard residential gutter runs and moderate roof edge coverage without field cutting.

Key Features

• 60-foot cable length at 5 watts per foot for 300 watts total output
• Rated for 120-volt residential electrical service
• Includes 6-foot power cord and plug for direct outlet connection
• Roof clips and cable spacers included for secure, consistent cable layout
• Includes two CSK-12 cable spacer kits
• Residential grade construction for rooftop de-icing applications

Compatibility

Designed as a residential-grade roof and gutter de-icing heat trace cable for use on standard asphalt shingle and metal rooflines with conventional gutter and downspout configurations requiring 120-volt heat trace service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified installer familiar with NEC requirements for fixed electric space heating equipment. The cable should be laid in a zigzag pattern along the roof edge and through gutters using the included clips and spacers to prevent direct contact between cable runs. Never overlap or bundle the cable, as concentrated heat buildup can damage the cable jacket and reduce service life. Disconnect power at the outlet before repositioning or servicing the cable at any point during or after installation.
