The Mill SnowCatcher is a 16-gauge metal snow guard made of 304-grade stainless steel. For a small upcharge, it is also available in TGIC Polyester powder-coated colors. The 1.5" wide base fits most 36" panels with 9" flats, and the large forward-mounted 4" wide face offers a sizable holding field. A gasket made of V742 CCF PVC foam that is 1/16" thick and adhesive-backed is supplied. The SnowCatcher requires two screws for each guard; however, the third hole can also accommodate an additional screw and serves as a support for powder coating.
When fastened with #14 screws, professional third-party Intertek/ATI testing showed that the SnowCatcher held 3923 pounds. The sturdy design does not become brittle over time like inexpensive guards made of metal castings.
The Snow Catcher is not suggested for adhesive mounting and should only be used for screw down applications. It is not advised to utilize snow guards in isolated roof areas including chimneys, doors, vents, and partial roof sections. Although there is room for three screws per guard, only two screws are required. Screws are sold separately.
Please refer to the spacing guideline page for proper snow guard placement.
