Embedding in Concrete Slabs
Attach the M.I. snow melting cable assemblies to concrete rebar using plastic clip ties at a depth of 2"-3" below the finished the surface.
Embed the snow melting mats on top of a concrete base and cover with a top layer of concrete.
Embedding in Asphalt Slabs
The National Electric Code recommends a two-pour embedding process for asphalt installations.
Install the M.I. snow melting cable assemblies or snow melting mats on top of a minimum 1.5" thick base layer of asphalt and then cover it with a minimum 1.5" thick layer of asphalt.
Use the Delta-Therm steel strapping to hold the M.I. snow melting cable assemblies in place with minimum 4" long nails.
Embedding Under Pavers
Embed the M.I. snow melting cable assemblies or snow melting mats in a sand bed or in concrete, and cover with pavers. For maximum heat transfer to the surface the pavers should be 2"-3" thick.
Embedding In Concrete Stairs
Embed the M.I. snow melting cable assemblies or snow melting mats at a depth of 2"-3" below the finished surface.
Embedding In Metal Pan Stairs
Embed the M.I. snow melting cable assemblies in the metal pan stair tread and insulate the bottom of the tread. Wiring can be hidden in the stringer.
De-icing Airport Hanger Door Rails
Embed the M.I. snow melting cable assemblies at a depth of 2"-3" below the finished surface. Do not allow the cable to come into contact with the railing.
Embedding in Bridge Decks
Embed the M.I. snow melting cable assemblies at a depth of 2"-3" below the finished surface. Power connection and wiring are typically run on the underside of the deck.
Embedded snow melting systems create a heated surface that melts snow fall upon contact. There are many applications including slabs; stairs, helidecks, bridges, and hanger doors.
