S-5! Snow Guard Rail for Standing Seam Metal Roofs X-Gard 1.0

X-Gard 1.0 is a one-pipe, clamp-to-seam snow retention rail engineered for standing seam metal roofs. Using the high-strength NEX 2.0 octagonal pipe and standard S-5 clamps, it delivers industry-leading spanning capability (up to 48″ seam spacing) with a non-penetrating attachment that preserves roof warranties and aesthetics.

Key Benefits

High Spanning Capacity: NEX pipe spans up to 48″ between clamps (cantilevers up to ~20″ past last clamp) for fewer anchors and faster installs.

Non-Penetrating Attachment: Clamps to standing seams—no roof penetrations—helping maintain weatherproofing and panel warranties.

Modular & Scalable: Configure single-row, multi-row, and staggered layouts with optional X-Clip II/III snow brakes and end caps.

Engineer-Backed: Use the online calculator and optional project-specific P.E. wet stamp for code/permit packages.

Special Technology

NEX 2.0 Octagonal Pipe: Proprietary cross-member resists rotation and increases strength vs. round pipe.

Double-Clamp Bracket: Each bracket accepts two clamps for high holding strength on many seam profiles.

Panel-Friendly Foot: Optional X-Clip features a rubber foot that rests on the panel flat to retard snow migration.

Warranty

Covered by S-5!’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the roof on which the product is installed.

What this means in practice:

• Coverage lasts as long as the roof remains in service

• Applies when the product is installed correctly and used as intended

• Remedy is repair or replacement of the defective product, at S-5!’s discretion

Best Uses

Commercial & Residential Snow Retention: Standing seam roofs in snow country, including insulated metal panel (IMP) roofs with wide seam spacing.

Protection Zones: Above eaves, entries, walkways, valleys, and lower roofs to mitigate sliding ice/snow.
