You don’t have to compromise form or function when it comes to choosing snow rails for your copper and lead-coated copper metal roof. Its non-intrusive, cylindrical shapes and smooth lines make it an architectural favorite.

SnoRail’s ⅜” (10 mm) single-rod assembly provides a slender high-tech, architectural look, while still offering durable performance in light and medium-duty applications.

Are you looking for a two-rail snow retention system? See SnoFence, VersaGard, DualGard and X-Gard 2.0.

S-5! SnoRail Benefits:

Easy installation
Quality construction without the inconsistencies of soldered snow guards
Sleek, low-profile architectural aesthetics
Brass for copper batten or standing seam roofs

Be sure to check out the many other features on the snow guard overview page

S-5-BSF ("B" is for brass) is suitable for use:
- On traditional double-folded copper standing seams with ≤.24″ compressed seam width
- On traditional (batten seam) dimension of ≥.50”
- Horizontally on single-fold copper roofing with seam dimensions ≥.65”

SnoRail Brass Works for the Following Roofs:

Double-Folded Standing Seam (Brass)

Single-Folded Standing Seam (Brass) S-5-BSF Only

Brass SnoRail Components

Use brass components on copper batten or standing seam roofs.

SnoClip™ is only made in aluminum and is not compatible with brass components.

S-5-BSF

Fits standing seam & batten seam profiles - 16 and 24-oz. copper seam thickness

Vertical application on traditional double-folded copper standing seams
For application on single-fold copper standing seam roofing, double folding is required at clamp locations
Horizontal application on traditional batten seam-fold dimension of ≥.50” (requires minor seam folding modification)

S-5-BE™ Clamp

Used at a rate of one per 50′ of assembly and at ends of assembly in lieu of BSF clamp to “fix” SnoRod, preventing excessive lateral rod migration

SnoRod

⅜” diameter solid brass rod inserted through S-5-BSF clamps just above panel seams for SnoRail

Contact your S-5! distributor for pricing and details on brass SnoRod.

SnoRod Coupling

Brass coupling ensures end-to-end rod alignment and continuity while allowing for thermal movement.
