1. Locking collars (#65) should be placed over each end of each line of tubing. Center the tubing on the snowguards and tighten the set screw on the collar until it no longer slips.
2. End plugs are installed using the same method as the couplings. Set end of plug flush with end of pipe.
3. Ice flags ((#95) should be placed over the top tube so that the long leg rests against the uphill side of both tubes. Use the carriage bolt and nut to hold the ice flag in position.

Snowguard Specifications for Pipe Style Brackets Horizontal spacing between brackets is 48" maximum. This may be decreased do to variable conditions. Snowguard layout should be repeated every 15' up the roof slope. Brackets are made of aluminum and are available in other metals. Three pipe systems are available upon request. Tubing is 1" OD aluminum.

It is highly recommended that snowguards be installed as per the manufacturer's recommended layout.

Alpine SnowGuards, Inc. will recommend bracket spacing and layout patterns based upon the information you provide. However, weather conditions and roof construction vary from project to project. The owner or architect must carefully consider factors such as anticipated snowload, roof slope, and orientation, roof construction and the area to be protected, in deciding whether the use of Alpine SnowGuards products would be appropriate. Alpine SnowGuards' assistance in your project design is limited exclusively to providing the specifications of its products. The owner or architect is solely responsible for evaluating the structure to determine its capacity to bear the retained snow loads.
