Mullane 500 3-Pipe Bronze/Brass Snow Rail Bracket

The Mullane 500 is a super heavy-duty copper/brass snow rail system used mostly on institutional buildings, government buildings, churches, college dormitories, and anywhere a high liability from falling ice and snow exists. 

The plates are made to fit the size of the slate on your roof. Common sizes are shown below, but call us at 814-786-9085 or email for other sizes and for shipping costs. This is a special order item that requires a 2-3 week lead time, and is non-returnable and non-refundable. Larger orders are eligible for free shipping.

Install snow fence bracket parallel to the eaves, spacing the brackets from 24" to no more than 48" apart, depending upon the pitch of the roof and the anticipated snow load. Install brackets approximately 24" to 36" from the roof edge.  

The Model #500 Snow Fence Bracket is cast from solid bronze and is mounted to a solid brass plate for lifetime durability. The castings have been carefully engineered to assure maximum strength at the points of greatest stress when under load. Double back brace brackets are standard, and give redundant protection against casting failure when under load. Holes for rails are 1.125" to accommodate 1" (O.D.) brass pipe. The brackets are adjustable to three angles: 90, 67.5, and 45 degrees. The base plate is 1/8" 220 bronze. 

The Model #500 is typically installed along the perimeter of slate roofs with rafters up to 25 ft. in areas with moderate to high snow falls. For longer rafter lengths use additional snow rails. The Model #500 is a custom order and the base plate can be fabricated to any specified size. We have too many standard sizes to list them all here, so if you need a plate size that is not listed, we probably have it available. Look at the image of the plate size list.

Options: Choose your plate size below. Don't see your size? We may still have it available but not listed. Call us at 814-786-9085 or send us an email (mail@josephjenkins.com).
