The model 500 snow fence bracket is cast from solid bronze for lifetime durability. The castings have been carefully engineered to assure maximum strength at the points of greatest stress when under load.*
Double back brace brackets are standard, and give redundant protection against casting failure when under load. Holes for rails are 1.125" to accommodate 1.05" (od) brass pipe. The brackets are available in three angles, 90°, 67.5°, and 45°.
USES, APPLICATION:
Typically installed along the perimeter of slate roofs to prevent the sudden and unexpected sliding of snow. When used in combination with individual guards (field array), it offers the greatest protection against any sliding of accumulated snow or ice, and the subsequent damage.
MATERIALS:
Bracket is solid cast tin bronze. The castings are riveted to the base plate (1/8" Brass or Bronze) using solid copper rivets. The plate is sized to the slate dimension, or for any specified size for different roof applications, and is predrilled and countersunk for easy installation of fasteners. (Thicker plate stock optional.) Bolts are solid brass. |
