S-5-S Clamp

The S-5! S-5-S Clamp is engineered for vertical snap-lock metal roof profiles and horizontal single-fold (angle-seam) profiles with moderate projection. This clamp provides strong load carrying capacity using two polished round-point setscrews and an integral M8 bolt in standard configuration, preserving roof coatings and warranties due to its non-penetrating design. The S-5-S is ideal for mounting solar panels, snow guards, walkways, lightning protection, conduit, and other rooftop accessories where reliable attachment is essential.

Key Features:

• Compatible with snap-lock and angle-seam profiles with horizontal seam projection ≤ 0.54″ (13 mm)
• Two Torx-T30 round-point setscrews for secure grip without piercing panel coating
• Includes M8 bolt for accessory attachment through top channel
• Non-penetrating design helps maintain roof integrity and warranty
• Available in standard and Mini versions for differing load needs

• Seam horizontal dimension: ≤ 0.54″ (13.7 mm)
• Compatible seam heights: typical vertical snap-lock seams of 1.5″ (38 mm) and 1.75″ (44 mm); horizontal angle-seam heights of 1.0″ (25 mm) and 1.5″ (38 mm)
• Setscrews: Two 3/8-24 × 0.80″ round-point T-30 setscrews included
• Bolt: One M8-1.25 × 16 mm hex flange bolt included
• Material: Structural aluminum clamp body; stainless steel hardware
• Approximate dimensions (standard clamp body): width ~2.00″ (50.8 mm), height ~1.50″ (38 mm), depth from seam flange ~1.50″ (38 mm), thickness of seam contact ~0.50″ (13 mm)
• Includes: Clamp body, two setscrews, M8 bolt, Torx drive bit tip

• Identify that roof panel is a snap-lock or angle-seam profile with horizontal projection ≤ 0.54″.
• Position the standard S-5-S Clamp over the seam so setscrews align on male/female seam portions.
• Insert and lightly thread both round-point setscrews by hand.
• Tighten setscrews using Torx-T30 bit to required tension for roof gauge and material.
• Insert and secure accessory hardware using the integrated M8 bolt.
• After initial load or after thermal cycles, re-check setscrew torque and alignment.

Q: What profiles does the S-5-S Clamp fit?
A: Snap-lock and single-fold (angle-seam) profiles with horizontal seam projection up to about 0.54″ and seam heights typically 1.0″ to 1.75″.

Q: How many setscrews does it have and what kind?
A: The standard S-5-S has two round-point 3/8-24 × 0.80″ Torx-T30 setscrews.

Q: Is the clamp penetrating the roof?
A: No. The setscrews are round-point and do not pierce the panel, maintaining roof coating and warranty.

Q: What can I mount with the S-5-S Clamp?
A: Solar panels, snow retention systems, walkways, conduit, lighting, and other roof accessories suited for the clamp’s holding capacity.
