Rooftop Installation Bundle

• WHAT’S INCLUDED IN YOUR BUNDLE

  To ensure a seamless, professional installation, we’ve matched the quantities perfectly so you can complete your project without a trip to the hardware store.

  • [10] Patented Adhesive-Mount Clips: Specifically designed for self-regulating heat cable and engineered to maintain roof integrity.
  • [1] 10.1 oz Tube of M1 Structural Adhesive: A high-performance, moisture-cure polyether adhesive that provides a waterproof, permanent bond.
  • Installation Instructions: A step-by-step guide based on our 20 years of field experience to ensure a leak-free result.

Roof & Gutter Heat Cable Clip Bundle – No-Drill Installation Stop guessing and start installing. We’ve paired our patented roof clips with the perfect amount of high-performance adhesive, ensuring you have exactly what you need to complete your zigzag pattern installation without running out.

• Puncture-Free Design: Protect your roof’s integrity. Our system uses industrial-grade M1 adhesive, eliminating the need for nails or screws that can cause leaks.

• Universal Compatibility: Engineered for all roof types, including shingle, metal, and membrane.

• The Perfect Match: Each bundle includes 40 patented clips and one 10.1 oz tube of M1 adhesive—precisely measured for a seamless project.

• Innovative Bonding: Features a unique bendable tab designed to bond securely to the front face of the drip edge, providing a rock-solid hold where you need it most.

Achieving a “lifetime” hold depends on proper surface preparation. Follow these expert tips from our 20 years in the field:

1. Clean the Contact Point: Use a wire brush or a stiff nylon brush to remove loose granules, dirt, or oxidation from the roof surface. For metal or membrane roofs, a quick wipe with isopropyl alcohol ensures a grease-free bond.

2. Temperature Matters: For the best results, apply the M1 adhesive when temperatures are above 40°F (4°C). If you must install in colder weather, keep the adhesive tubes in a warm truck or bucket until the moment of use to maintain a smooth flow.

3. The “Squeeze” Factor: Apply a generous “marble-sized” dollop of adhesive to the underside of the clip. When pressing the clip onto the roof, ensure a small amount of adhesive “weathers” out around the edges—this creates a vacuum seal that protects the bond from ice-jacking.

4. Utilize the Bendable Tab: On the drip edge, bend the patented tab to flush against the vertical face. Applying adhesive to this secondary surface area significantly increases the clip’s resistance to heavy snow loads sliding off the roof.

5. Cure Time: While the adhesive skins over quickly, avoid tensioning the heat cable immediately. Let the clips set for several days before final cable installation for maximum strength.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I really need to clean the roof first? Absolutely. For the adhesive to maintain the roof’s integrity and provide a permanent bond, it needs to stick to the roof material, not the dust or loose granules on top of it. A quick brush of the area is the most important step for a “no-leak” guarantee.

Will the adhesive damage my shingles or metal roof? No. The M1 adhesive we provide is chemically neutral and specifically designed for roofing applications. It bonds to the surface without eating into the material, preserving the life of your roof.

How many clips do I need for a standard zigzag pattern? Most standard “over-the-eave” zigzag patterns use about one clip per foot of roof edge. This 40-clip bundle is designed to cover approximately 35–40 linear feet of gutter line, depending on the depth of your zigzags.

What happens if I need to remove a clip later? Because the system is non-penetrating, you won’t be left with holes. Clips can be carefully pried up with a putty knife, and any remaining cured adhesive can be trimmed away without compromising the roof surface.

Can I install these while it’s snowing? For the strongest bond, we recommend a dry surface. If you must install in damp conditions, wipe the area as dry as possible. The M1 adhesive is moisture-cure, but it performs best when applied to a clean, prepared surface.
