Appleton ADKS-400 De-icing Kit 80 Feet

Product Description

The APPLETON ADKS-400 is an 80-foot de-icing kit designed to prevent ice damming and snow buildup on roof edges, gutters, and downspouts. It delivers resistive heat along the cable run to keep freeze-prone surfaces above freezing temperatures during cold-weather conditions. This type of self-regulating or fixed-wattage heat trace kit is a standard solution for residential and light commercial applications where ice accumulation poses a drainage or structural risk. Installation is typically handled by licensed electricians familiar with low-voltage or line-voltage heat trace systems.

The ADKS-400 suits roof and gutter de-icing applications on residential homes and light commercial buildings. The 80-foot cable length accommodates standard roof eave runs, gutters, and downspout loops on mid-size structures. It is appropriate for use in regions with sustained below-freezing winters where ice dams are a recurring maintenance concern.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 426 governing fixed electric heating equipment for pipelines and surfaces. Disconnect and lock out all power before servicing or repositioning existing heat trace cables. Follow the manufacturer routing instructions for gutter loops and downspout drops to ensure uniform heat distribution. Do not overlap cable runs, as contact between heated cable segments can cause damage or create a fire hazard.
