Fitrite 124 2-Pipe Snow Rail Brackets
SKU: FR124
Mullane Fitrite #124 2-Pipe Bronze or Galvanized Snow Rail Bracket for asphalt shingle roofs.
The FR124 Mini Protector Snow Fence Bracket is available in malleable galvanized iron or cast bronze mounted on a brass plate. The castings are mounted on a 2" x 12" plate with pre-drilled holes for easy installation. The bracket assembly is set up to accommodate two 1/2" I.D. pipes (use galvanized pipes with the iron bracket, and brass with the bronze bracket). Brackets are adjustable to the roof pitch. The FR124 should be used where low to moderate snow loads are anticipated, and can be mounted to most any roof surface.
If you want a 2-pipe snow rail bracket for slate roofs, use the Galvanized FR121 or the Bronze FR122. The brackets are sized the same as the slate size.
1/2" I.D. red brass pipe or 1/2" galvanized pipe, couplings, and end caps are sold separately.

FR124ML: Galvanized

Snow rails are used along the perimeter of slate roofs for the prevention of sudden and unexpected ice and snow avalanches, which can damage people, cars, shrubbery, lower roofs, and other property underneath. The rail system can also include stainless steel expanded metal to prevent slates and other debris from sliding under the rails and creating a hazard. Also, a standard field array of snow guards can be included on the field of the roof above the snow rail for maximum protection.
Snow rail fence brackets are installed parallel to and approximately 24-36 inches above the eaves. The brackets should be spaced from 18-24 inches to no more than 42-48 inches apart horizontally, depending on the pitch of the roof and the expected snow load. It is recommended to use through bolts with a backer plate on the underside of the roof deck. Bronze, brass, or stainless steel pipe is recommended. Copper water pipes should not be used with Mullane snow rails, although they are used with Sieger snow rail brackets, both for slate roofs and for standing seam roofs.

High snow load areas should use a three-pipe system such as the Mullane 500, the Mullane Fitrite 131 ML, or the Mullane Fitrite 132 BR, If a smaller system is used, then it should be supplemented with an additional snow guard array in the field of the roof above the snow rail.
NOTE: Returned Berger and Mullane snow guards incur a 25% restocking fee. We provide free shipping on snow guard orders over $1,000.00. For more information, call us at (814) 786-9085, or send us an email.
