X-Gard™ 1.0

X-Gard Components:

Finish Options: X-Gard is designed to preserve the coveted aesthetics of the metal roof. Based upon project needs, X-Gard can be painted, powder-coated, or anodized as chosen by the customer. These finish options are available from limited S-5! distributors. Please contact distributors to discuss the finish options and cost.

Versatility in Pipe Snow Retention: X-Gard can be purchased as a one- or two-pipe system, using Mini or standard S-5! clamps, depending on project specifics including pitch and snow load.

The single- and double-pipe options can also be paired with a locally-purchased round pipe (supplied by third-party), or, for superior holding strength, X-Gard can be paired with the NEX 2.0 pipe.

X-Gard 2.0: 2-Pipe System Using 1.9 Round Pipe

X-Clip™: X-Clip II™ or X-Clip III™ are optional components that can be added to your X-Gard 1.0 or X-Gard 2.0 snow retention system to further retard the migration of snow. X-Clip has a special integrated rubber “foot” to prevent abrasion of the panel’s finish. It rests on the back of the pipe and extends down to the flat of the roofing panel.

• X-Clip II: X-Clip II is especially made for seam heights of 1″ (25 mm) and 1-3/4″ (44.5 mm). It will also fit 2″ (51 mm) vertical seams, but not 2″ (51 mm) horizontal.
• X-Clip III: X-Clip III is designed for seam heights of 2″ (51 mm) up to 3″ (76 mm).

Lasting Quality: The X-Gard brackets, as well as the attachment clamps, are precision-machined, high-tensile, aircraft-quality aluminum, not cast or plastic. All related hardware is non-ferrous stainless steel for lasting performance.

X-Gard has greater holding strength, better aesthetics, and longer service life than any other engineered pipe system on the market. Like the S-5! ColorGard® and SnoRail™/SnoFence™ snow retention systems, pound-for-pound, X-Gard provides better holding strength than individual cleats.

X-Gard attachment clamps have been tested for load-to-failure results on most major metal roof brands and profiles. The independent lab test data can be used for load-critical designs and applications.
