ReadyTrace 36 ft. Self-Regulating Heat Trace Cables (READYTRACE-036)
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Self-Regulating Technology: Automatically adjusts heat output based on ambient temperature, increasing power in cold conditions and decreasing it as temperatures rise, ensuring energy efficiency and preventing overheating.
Versatile Protection: Ideal for preventing freezing and rupture in small and medium-diameter pipes, managing ice buildup on roofs and in gutters, and keeping drainage systems free-flowing.
Hassle-Free Installation: Comes pre-assembled with a lighted NEMA 5-15 plug for direct connection to a GFCI-protected circuit, simplifying setup. Flexible materials allow for excellent bending radius around complex structures.
Commercial-Strength Resilience: Manufactured from premium components designed to withstand demanding environmental conditions and frequent freeze-thaw cycles, ensuring long-term performance.
USA Made Quality: Proudly designed and manufactured in the United States, reflecting a commitment to high standards of quality and innovation.

Inspect: Before starting, carefully inspect the ReadyTrace cable for any signs of damage.
Ensure GFCI Protection: Confirm that the electrical circuit you intend to use is GFCI-protected. If not, an inline GFCI option is available from ReadyTrace.
Position Cable: Carefully position the heat trace cable along the pipe, in the gutter, or on the roof area requiring protection. Ensure it is laid out smoothly without kinking or sharp bends.
Secure Cable: Secure the cable to the desired surface using appropriate non-metallic fasteners. For pipes, use approved tapes (e.g., glass tape or aluminum foil over the entire length). Do not use metal straps or wire.
Plug In: Once properly installed and secured, plug the lighted NEMA 5-15 plug into the GFCI-protected electrical outlet. The plug will illuminate when the cable is receiving power and operating.
Monitor (Optional): If using a ReadyTrace temperature controller (sold separately), connect it as per its instructions to manage the heating more precisely.
