ATAS Snow Guard - Manual (Page 2)

Using VersaBracket™
1. Install the bracket. See
installation instructions that
were included with
your bracket.
2. Fasten unpunched ColorGard
to the top flange of the
bracket using a 1/4 - 14
self-drilling screw.
5. Bolt ColorGard® to clamps
Attach ColorGard to clamps
with stainless bolts and washers
provided. Bolts can be tightened
with a 9/16" (17 mm) box-end
wrench, or ratchet. On larger
jobs a 1/2" drive electric impact
will expedite this work. Tension
bolts to a minimum of 20 ft. lbs.
(27 Nm) Add splice pieces at each ColorGard joint as
shown below. The “dimple” in the splice piece will
automatically provide a 1/8" space between adjoining
sections to allow for linear thermal expansion of the
ColorGard. Trim ColorGard at the end of the assembly,
being sure it does not cantilever more than 4” beyond
clamp. Any trimmed piece of ColorGard must be
attached with at least two clamps.
ColorGard cutting tip: If it is necessary to field cut
ColorGard, such as at the end of an assembly, it can
be done with a hack saw, or electric reciprocating saw
with a fine-tooth metal cutting blade. A power mitre
saw with a fine tooth carbide tip blade also works well.
pre-assembled into the
ColorGard crossmember. If
the strip is 10' long it will be
assembled to the ColorGard as
installation progresses. Joints
in the ColorGard should be
concealed by offsetting the
joints of the color strip from the
joints of the ColorGard. The joints of the color strips
can be overlapped about 1/2" if desired. Each color
strip should be secured to the ColorGard somewhere
along its length. This is done by pinching the retainer
lip of the ColorGard with an ordinary pair of pliers.
It can be done at one end of the ColorGard section or
anywhere along its length to prevent lateral migration
of the color strip.

and use appropriate tools.
Using CorruBracket™
1. Install the bracket. See
installation instructions
that were included with
your bracket.
2. Fasten ColorGard to the
bracket in the same
fashion as step 5.
SnoClip II™ or SnoClip III™ can
be added to the assembly using
a mallet, pliers, or Channel-Locks.
One clip is used between seams
(in rare cases two clips may be
desired, see www.S-5.com for
details). Mount the SnoClip to the
back of the ColorGard using the
lock that results with the rubber
“foot” resting properly on the
panel surface. When applying
downward pressure on the part,
the “toe” should engage the
surface of the panel just before
the “heel.” Periodic maintenance
over time may be necessary to
ensure that the SnoClips maintain
the appropriate positioning, as
snow weight may sometimes flip
the clip up slightly.
