The Model 124 Mini Protector Snow Fence Bracket is cast in malleable iron for lifetime durability. The castings are mounted on a solid galvanized steel plate, 2" x 12", with pre drilled hole s for easy installation. The bracket assembly is set up to accommodate two 1/2" galvanized pipes. (1/8" wall, 080" OD) Brackets are adjustable to the roof pitch. The Mini Protector is designed for use in low snow load applications.
Uses, Application: Typically installed along the perimeter of any roof surface where the sudden and unexpected falling of ice or snow can become a hazard. The Model #124 is used for low to moderate snow loads, and can be mounted to most any roof surface. When used in combination with individual field array snow guards, it offers the highest degree of snow slide protection.
Materials: Bracket is solid zinc plated cast iron with the base casting riveted to the base plate with solid aluminum rivets. The base plate is 11 ga. galvanized steel plate, and fastener holes are punched and countersunk for easy installation.
Installation: Install snow fence bracket parallel to, and approximately 24" to 36" from the eaves. The bracket should be spaced from 18" to no more than 36" apart, depending upon the pitch of the roof and the anticipated snow load. Recommended installation method is to use through bolts, with a backer plate on the underside of the roof deck. The use of thick wall galvanized or stainless steel pipe is recommended. Copper water pipe should not be used.
In moderate to high snow load situations, use the Model FR 131 , three pipe system, or supplement the Model FR 124 with individual field array guards.
As always, our technical services can provide a layout recommendation upon receipt of a roof plan, showing rafter lengths and necessary elevations for roof pitch.
