Description
S-5! Nex Pipe W/Splice
The NEX Pipe is a high-strength aluminum crossmember for S-5 X-Gard snow-retention systems. Its unique 8-sided tubular extrusion spans up to 48″ between brackets and ships in 7′-8″ lengths with an internal splice to maintain structural continuity from pipe to pipe. Compatible with X-Gard 1.0 and 2.0 for heavy-duty, engineered snow control on standing-seam metal roofs.
Key Benefits
Strong, Lightweight Crossmember: High-tensile aluminum pipe designed to span up to 48″ with excellent beam strength.
Pipe-to-Pipe Continuity: Each 7′-8″ stick includes a splice to join sections for straight, rigid runs.
Engineered for Metal Roofs: Purpose-built for X-Gard 1.0/2.0 brackets and related accessories (X-Clip, end caps).
Efficient Handling: Approx. 0.56 lb/ft keeps long sticks manageable on the roof.
Special Technology
Octagonal Extrusion: 8-sided aluminum profile provides superior bending resistance vs. round tube.
Optimized System Geometry: Published designs allow up to ~20″ cantilever beyond last clamp (project dependent).
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
Standing-Seam Metal Roofs: One- or two-pipe X-Gard arrays for commercial and residential buildings in snow country.
