Appleton ADKS-800 De-icing Kit 160 Feet

Product Description

The APPLETON ADKS-800 is a 160-foot de-icing kit designed to prevent ice damming and freeze-up in roof edges, gutters, downspouts, and pipe runs exposed to cold-weather conditions. The kit uses self-regulating or fixed-wattage heat trace cable to maintain surface temperatures above freezing, protecting structures and plumbing from ice-related damage. Installation is handled by electricians or qualified contractors working on commercial and residential cold-climate applications where freeze protection is required by code or site conditions.

This de-icing kit is suited for residential and light commercial installations where roof drainage systems, exposed water supply lines, or outdoor piping require continuous or thermostatically controlled freeze protection through winter months. The 160-foot coverage length makes it appropriate for longer roof runs, extended gutter systems, or multi-section pipe applications where shorter kits fall short.

Key Features

• 160-foot cable length provides extended freeze protection coverage for roofs, gutters, and exposed piping
• Self-contained kit format simplifies ordering and reduces field sourcing time
• Designed for cold-climate applications where freeze damage is a service liability
• Suitable for both residential and light commercial installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style freeze protection solution for roof edge, gutter, downspout, and exposed pipe de-icing applications in cold-climate residential and commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 426 governing fixed electric heating equipment for pipelines and vessels. Disconnect and lock out all power before servicing or modifying an existing heat trace system. Secure the cable at manufacturer-recommended intervals and avoid overlapping cable runs, which can create hot spots. Verify thermostat or control device settings prior to energizing the system.
