Description
Gripping the seam without a single roof penetration, the S-5-N clamp is built from structural 6061-T6 aluminum and fits nail-strip standing seam panels with a base-of-rib dimension of 0.82" or less.
Key Features
- Non-Penetrating Attachment: Clamps directly onto the standing seam, so the roof panel is never drilled or punctured.
- Angled Setscrews: Two angled T-30 Torx round-point setscrews tighten with common tools, and a Torx bit tip is included in every box.
- Nail-Strip Engagement: The angled wall and nose engage the angular overlap of nail-strip profiles for a secure fit.
- Protective Insert: The insert delivers a best fit against the seam base without damaging the panel seam.
- Heavy-Duty Ready: Suited to demanding uses such as snow retention, with an M8 bolt included for attaching accessories.
The S-5-N is designed for 1" (25 mm) nail-flange metal roof profiles such as Taylor Metals Easy Lock, ASC Skyline Roofing, and New Tech Machinery FF100.
Installation is simple. Place the insert against the base of the seam, set the clamp over the seam and insert, then tighten the setscrews to the specified tension. Attach accessories with the bolt.
The clamp carries ICC-ES, FPA HVHZ, IAPMO/UES, UL2703, LA County, and Sunnova AVL listings. Every S-5! clamp undergoes load testing, and it is compatible with most common roofing metals, excluding copper.
