where adhesive will be used to install
clips, refer to page 3. WJ20SR13 is a
bag of 10 clips.
WJ20SR15
WJ20SR15 downspout hanger is used
to provide mechanical protection to the
self-regulating heating cables against
sharp edges and to hold the heating
cable in place at the top of
downspouts. Refer to page 3 for
