 S-5!
Attachment Solutions
There has never before been a dependable way to attach things
to modern standing seam metal roofs without jeopardizing
the integrity of the system and violating warranties.
Until Now . . .
Introducing S-5!: Patented hardware technology that makes
these attachments quick, simple, secure and as dependable
as the roof systems they complement.
S-5! Clamps
S-5! clamps attach to the panel seam by the tightening of
two "bullet-nosed" stainless steel setscrews against
the seam material. (This is usually done with an industrial
grade screwgun.) The setscrews compress the seam material
against the opposite wall of the clamp. They will "dimple"
the seam material, but will not penetrate it. Threaded holes
in the clamp (and stainless hardware provided) enable the
easy attachment of various ancillary items to the clamps.
PV
KIT
The challenge has been in how to attach the PV modules
to the standing seam roof systems without jeopardizing material
and weather-tightness warranties. The answer is S-5-PV Kit
and the S-5! Mini.
The S-5-PV Kit mounts to any of our Mini clamps. The patented
attachment clamp and round-point setscrews enable the entire
installation without a single penetration through the standing
seam metal roof’s surface. With the S-5-PV Kit and
our Mini clamps, mounting a leak-free solar assembly is
a quick and easy process.
(Our S-5! Mini clamps are a handy way to install everything
from the PV frames to the electrical chases. The PV Kit
and Mini Clamps are each sold separately.)
VersaBracket™
Mount Virtually Anything to a Face-Fastened Roof System
VersaBracket™ is compatible with almost any trapezoidal,
face-fastened profile.
VersaBracket™ can be used to mount virtually anything
to a face-fastened roof system and is compatible with almost
any trapezoidal, face-fastened profile. No messy sealants
to apply! No chance for leaks! The VersaBracket™ comes
with factory-applied sealant already in the base for a water-tight
attachment
 To
accommodate various rib heights, VersaBracket™ comes
in two heights—the 2.65" VB-67 and the 1.86"
VB-47. The VB-67 mounting face has no holes or slots, thus,
ancillary items are typically secured using self-tapping
screws. The VB-47 offers various mounting face configurations
with minimum purchase requirements. (Contact your distributor
for available configurations.) Each VersaBracket™
comes with factory-applied butyl sealant in the base. A
structural aluminum attachment bracket, VersaBracket™
is compatible with most common metal roofing materials.
For design assistance, ask your distributor, or use our
web-based calculator for job-specific system engineering
and design of your next snow retention project. Additional
data, such as CAD details, metallurgical compatibilities
and specifications, are available for download at the bottom
of this page.
The VersaBracket™ has been tested for load-to-failure
results on wood decking, metal and wood purlins. We offer
independent lab test data that can be used for load-critical
designs and applications. S-5!™ holding strength is
unmatched in the industry.
CorruBracket™
Mount Virtually Anything to Corrugated Metal Roofing
The CorruBracket™: Strong, versatile, easy to install.
CorruBracket™ can be used to mount virtually anything

For maximum holding
strength, setscrews should be tensioned and re-tensioned
as the seam material compresses.
Clamp setscrew tension should be verified using a calibrated
torque wrench between 160 and
180 inch pounds when used on 22ga steel and between 130
and 150 inch pounds for all other
metals and thinner gauges of steel. Consult the S-5!™
website at www.S-5.com for published
data regarding holding strength.
