Can Tuff Cable be installed in hot-pour asphalt?

Yes. Tuff Cable is the only low-voltage heating cable designed to withstand hot-pour asphalt installation. Its 10-gauge coated copper construction and chemical resistance allow it to survive the temperatures and chemical composition of freshly poured asphalt — making it the only practical low-voltage option for new asphalt driveway and roadway snow melting applications. In a two-pour asphalt installation, Tuff Cable is laid on the binder or base coat layer, and the final asphalt surface layer is poured directly over it.
