Snow Bracket L Technical Guide

Tile Roof Accessories (TRA-Mage) Snow Bracket L has been engineered for use with all standing seam, metal panel and asphalt shingle roof systems.

For optimum assurance that snow and ice will not slide, always use the snow load / slope chart to determine 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

For Metal Panel roofs:
Place the L Bracket with the 3" raise of the bracket on the up slope of roof. Drill 3 holes through existing holes in bracket and down through the roofing product and the sheathing. Hole size should be smaller than screw threads to prevent the screw from pulling out when stressed. Remove the snow bracket. Install caulking in holes and on base of the roofing product. Place snow bracket on roofing, aligning holes and screw through holes.

For Standing Seam Metal Roofs:
Install as for the metal roof but drill holes in metal panel only slightly larger than screws to prevent oil canning and slotting concerns. Install the L Bracket on full run of panel from eave to ridge and do not exceed spacing 3 feet apart.


PACKAGING

100 Brackets per box.
