Snow Bracket E Technical Guide

Tile Roof Accessories (TRA-Mage) Snow Bracket E has been engineered for use with all simulated slate manufactured in the United States. The TRA-Mage snow bracket is designed to be installed as the slate is being installed on the roof.

For optimum assurance that snow and ice will not slide, always use the snow load/slope chart to determine the number of snow brackets per square of roofing. Snow loads vary. Check with the local building department to verify the snow load for your area.


INSTALLATION

The snow bracket should be installed vertically to the horizontal course of simulated slate. The triangular end of the snow bracket should be placed at the eave end of the simulated slate. Install four (4) 2" roofing nails in holes of the bracket. The snow bracket should be flush with the surface of the simulated slate. Continue up the roof, covering the nail end of snow bracket with the next course of shingles.

100 Brackets per box.
