• Pattern for the roofline: Cable laid along the roofline is arranged
in a triangular pattern (see Figure 4). The cable must extend above the
overhang into the warm section of the roof. To determine the height of
the triangles, measure the depth of the overhang. The triangle heights
are measured by the number of shingle rows from the roof edge (based
on the standard 5 / inch tab shingles). Using Table 2, determine the

• Pattern for skylights: Problem skylight areas are also treated with
the "triangle pattern" approach. However, the height of the triangles
may need to be greater than those along the roofline. Increase the
triangle height so that it extends to one shingle row (5
the skylight. The triangle base is maintained at 15 inches (See Figure
5).
Triangle heights must not exceed 20 feet. The clips provided with the
kit are not designed to attach triangles this large. For problem areas
that are more than 20 feet from the roof edge, commercial grade
deicing cable should be installed by a professional installer. Call Easy
