DEVI DEVIiceguard 18 Self-Regulating Heating Cable 100m Drum, 18/36 W/m, for Roof & Gutter De-Icing

Self-regulating heating cable with 18 W/m output at 10°C and 36 W/m at 0°C, supplied on a 100 m drum for roof and gutter de-icing and pipe frost protection.

Overview

The DEVI DEVIiceguard 18 is a self-regulating heating cable engineered to prevent ice dams and frozen pipes in residential and commercial applications. Its self-regulating core automatically adjusts heat output based on ambient temperature, ensuring efficient energy use and preventing overheating. The cable is supplied on a 100 m drum, allowing for easy handling and custom length cutting on site. It requires separate connection and termination kits for a complete installation.

What stands out

• Self-regulating technology: heat output varies with temperature, from 18 W/m at 10°C to 36 W/m at 0°C, reducing energy consumption and eliminating overheating risks.
• Durable construction: UV-resistant, halogen-free, flame-retardant TPE-O outer jacket withstands harsh weather and chemical exposure.
• Flexible installation: minimum bend radius of 25 mm and wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +65°C powered) allow for versatile routing.
• Safety certified: CE, VDE, and SEMKO approvals ensure compliance with European safety standards.
• IPX7 protection: with proper termination, the cable is suitable for wet locations, including roof valleys and gutters.
