INSTALLAT ION PENETRAT I NG SYSTEM Step 1: Bracket Installation 1. Before you begin, locate joists, wood blockings and strapping. The system must be attached to a substructure. 2. Refer to the Snostop quote to determine where the brackets are going to be fastened. 3. Make a chalk line or measure from the eave to the point to mark the position of the brackets. This will confirm that the brackets are level with each other across the length of the roof. 4. If you are sealing to a steel deck, it is advised to pre-drill a pilot hole using a #1 drill bit before screwing in the fasteners. 5. Seal the base plate of the bracket with a waterproof or silicone caulking and place along the chalk line. 6. Secure the bracket using the screws provided in recommended holes. 7. Seal with additional caulking around the screw holes and baseplate for added strength.
Step 2: Tube installation NOTE:Proper care must be taken when installing the Snostop tubes as scratching the surface of painted rails may cause rusting. 1. The tubes install one into the other by sliding the swaged end of the first tube into the opposite end of the full size tube. NOTE:Tubes can be easily cut with a power or hack saw to the appropriate length when needed. 2. Insert a stop pin on the inside of the first bracket in any run and the last bracket of the same run to prevent the tubes from sliding out of position. 3. The stop pin is installed by pre-drilling a hole in the tubes with a 1/8� drill bit and tapping the stop pins into the hole with a hammer. 4. NOTE:Do not extend tubes more than 2 inches past the first and last brackets. NOTE:For easiest results install several brackets followed by tubing and repeat. This will help proper alignment at all times and allow for an easier install.
