Different types of Stainless Steel V-Brackets offered with West Coast Weather Vanes

1. Two Armed Stainless Steel V-Bracket Without Gussets

This is our most commonly used V-Bracket. It is suitable for most weathervanes. It is fabricated to common pitches and with minor adjustments can be bent to conform to your roof.

The mounting tube is 12” tall with one set screw (not shown) to pinch the stainless steel rod in place. The diameter of this tube can vary depending on the diameter of the stainless steel installation rod you will be using. It is important to get the vertical rod as plumb as possible to ensure the weather vane sculpture piece turns correctly in the wind.
