Mullane 300S-NA Snow Guard
Bronze Guard for Slate Roofs
Installation Instructions:
A traditional half-moon style snow guard, from a design first patented in
1899, the Model #300 is historically accurate for period restorations, but is just as
appropriate for new construction. Because of its low profile, this model is also
appropriate for residential usage.

The technical information is for informational purposes only and is not
intended to replace the manufacturer's recommendations for a particular project. We will
provide layout layouts free of charge upon receipt of customer provided roof measurements.

General Information:
Snow guards are devices that are attached to the roof structure in order to uniformly retain and hold snow in place on the roof area. The snow
guards need to be applied in sufficient quantity according to a prescribed pattern in order to be effective. Snow Guards are intended to prevent snow
movement and provide for the controlled melt and breakdown of the snow mass into smaller sections.
Snow guard placement will vary from region to region and will be influenced by roof pitch, the lengths of roof runs and roof features. Local
installation customs may not be the best guide for placement. Additional information can be found in sheet metal and air conditioning contractors’
national association (SMACNA) architectural sheet metal manual.
Berger Building Products, Inc. recommends that a qualified roofing contractor be employed to install these products. Roofing professionals have
the proper equipment, knowledge and ability to complete the task in a safe and satisfactory manner. The applicator is responsible for compliance with
regulations governing local building ordinances and safety regulations.
Safety Hazards
• Roofing can be hazardous! Serious injury or fatality can result from falls or electrocution from contacting overhead wires. Observe ladder
safety rules for load, positioning and security.
• Please make sure all roof surfaces are dry and clean before working. Avoid working in excessive heat, high wind or when there is a threat
of lightning. Never work alone.
• Do not allow material to be unsecured on the roof. Falling objects are dangerous.
• Prior to application, Berger Building Products, Inc. requires that the installer evaluate all products in order to determine fitness for use.
Do not use Competing/Dissimilar Metals with each other!
Galvanic corrosion will occur when dissimilar metals are in contact in the presence of an electrolyte. Water in the form of condensation, rain or
snow is an electrolyte. Water that flows over copper becomes electronegative and will cause corrosion of aluminum or steel. Copper, brass or stainless
steel fasteners or nails must be used with copper or brass applications. Make sure rivets are solid copper; do not use copper plated steel rivets in copper
or brass assembly. Do not use aluminum or galvanized nails to secure any copper products. Corrosion will be more rapid in the presence of salts such
as ocean coastal areas or chlorinated water, acid rain, and polluted industrial atmospheres. Accelerated corrosion will occur when a larger area of an
electronegative (cathode/protected) element contacts a small electropositive (anodic/corroded) element.
