Rooftop attachments from fall arrest to solar mountings
S-5! is the proper way to attach almost anything to standing seam metal roofing- from service walks, satellite dishes and photovoltaic solar modules to fall protection and snow retention devices. Patented S-5! clamps make the attachment without penetration of the panel seam material.
Unlike methods that use sharp or ‘cup’ point screws to dig into or pierce the metal, damaging fragile finishes and violating warranties, the S-5! method utilizes a patented combination of polished round-point setscrews and machined reliefs to allow a secure and positive mechanical gripping of the seam with no ill side effects.
Although the holding strength is measured in tons, the anchorage is achieved without any damage to roofing materials or jeopardy to important rooftop warranties. S-5! attachment technology is recognized and endorsed by every leading metal panel system manufacturer in the world.
Roof accessory mounting
Dependable and consistent S-5! attachment methods mean that holding strength is laboratory tested and published at the S-5! website. S-5! clamps are machined from non-corrosive metals- never brittle castings or synthetic materials. They also utilize stainless steel hardware. S-5! clamp models are made for every conceivable seam material, finish, profile and gauge. If the right hardware is not available for your application, we’ll custom make it.
