The Most Robust Two-Pipe System on the Market. If Bigger Is Better, Then This Is the Best System in Our Snow Guard Arsenal.

Roofs that collect large amounts of snow require Herculean performance. X-Gard 2.0 provides that heavy-duty, engineered assurance your project may need.

This two-pipe, snow guard system is easily retrofitted to existing roofs or can be incorporated in new construction design.

X-Gard offers you a non-penetrating standing seam, snow guard system designed for heavy-duty, multi-pipe applications. It is also an ideal solution for use on solar PV roofs when extra height is required.

X-Gard’s proprietary 8-sided NEX® 2” pipe provides superior beam strength compared to other crossmembers. Its unique pipe shape is formed from high-tensile aluminum.

X-Gard™ 2.0 Components

2-Pipe System Using NEX® Pipe

Unique, octagonal high-tensile aluminum crossmember spans up to 48″.

NEX pipe has the ability to cantilever up to 20″ past the last clamp in an assembly.

Installs in 7′ 8″ lengths.

X-Gard 2.0 Bracket

Octogonal-shaped, one-piece bracket secures both pipe crossmembers to clamps.

X-Gard Endcaps

Black vinyl endcaps keep rain, dirt or debris out of the pipes.

X-Clip II™ (Optional)

Retards snow sliding under crossmember. Integrated rubber “foot” prevents abrasion of panel finish.

Fits seam heights – 1″ (25 mm) up to 1-3/4″ (44.5 mm). Fits up to 2″ (51 mm) vertical seams, but not 2″ (51 mm) horizontal seams.

X-Clip III™ (Optional)

Retards snow sliding under crossmember. Integrated rubber “foot” prevents abrasion of panel finish.

X-Clip III is designed for seam heights of 2″ (51 mm) up to 3″ (76 mm). Should not be used on 3” horizontal seams.

Splice

Joins adjacent NEX crossmembers to maintain structural continuity. Splice automatically provides for thermal linear expansion and contraction of the X-Gard assembly.

Splice comes with NEX Pipe.
