Description
The S-5! Endcap for X-Gard is a simple but essential accessory for the X-Gard snow retention system. It caps the open ends of NEX 2.0 pipes to prevent entry of water, debris, insects, and vermin, which could compromise system integrity or lead to corrosion and damage inside the pipe. Made of durable black vinyl, the endcap stretches to fit snugly and remains flexible over time, even under temperature extremes. It is used at every open pipe end in the snow guard assembly and helps ensure the X-Gard system delivers long-term performance and minimal maintenance.
