OMG - PowerGrip Universal 11 Roof Mount, Solar Racking System

The OMG PowerGrip Universal 11 (SKU PGRPU-STD for single unit; PGRPU-STD-6PK for a 6-pack) is a high-strength roof mount anchor for commercial roofing applications, designed to secure equipment like solar racks, pipe supports, and mounted HVAC without relying on ballast. It anchors directly to the roof deck, offering excellent static tensile, shear, and compressive capacities while maintaining watertight integrity without needing flashing in many installations. Available in single or 6-unit packs for flexible project scaling.

Key Features

• Strong load capacity: supports heavy dead, uplift, and shear forces
• Watertight installation without needing flashing (in many roofing systems)
• Compatible with mechanically attached, fully adhered, and ballasted commercial roof systems
• Offered in single unit (PGRPU-STD) and 6-pack (PGRPU-STD-6PK) packaging
• Base plate diameter large enough to distribute loads and maintain stability

• PGRPU-STD (single) / PGRPU-STD-6PK (pack of 6)
• Description: PowerGrip Universal 11
• Quantity / Weight:
  • Single (PGRPU-STD): 1 unit, 3.5 lbs (1.6 kg)

• Performance:
  • Static Tensile Load (TAS 117 (A)): 3,343 lbf (14.8 kN)
  • Static Shear Load (ASTM E488): 2,537 lbf (11.3 kN)
  • Compressive Load (ASTM D1621-10): 2,749 lbf (12.2 kN)
• Physical dimensions:
  • Cover Plate Diameter: 11.5 in (292 mm)
  • Installed Height (without stud): 1 in (25.4 mm)
  • Total Installed Height (with stud): 2 in (50.8 mm)
  • Fastener Spacing on Base Plate: 6 in on center (152 mm)

• Determine mounting locations and ensure the roof deck and roofing system manufacturer permit use of PGU-11 units
• Clean the roof surface and prepare the membrane per manufacturer’s recommendations for a secure seal
• Position the PowerGrip Universal 11 base plate on the roof deck; align fastener holes and mark them if needed
• Install a minimum of six fasteners through the base plate into the roof deck; use up to 12 fasteners if specified by design load requirements
• Torque or tighten the cap or bolts in a criss-cross pattern to the specified inch-pound value to assure even seating and watertight integrity
• If applicable and required, install optional flashing or redundant water barrier as per system specification

Q: What are the load capacities of the PGU-11 anchor?
A: Static tensile load is 3,343 lbf (14.8 kN), static shear load is 2,537 lbf (11.3 kN), and compressive load is 2,749 lbf (12.2 kN) under standard test conditions.

Q: How many units are in the 6-pack, and what is the total weight?
A: The PGRPU-STD-6PK contains 6 units, total weight of about 23 lbs (10.4 kg).

Q: Is the installation watertight without flashing?
A: Yes — in many roofing systems PGU-11 units are watertight without flashing. However, for redundant water protection a flashing or redundant barrier can be used.

Q: How many fasteners are required?
A: Minimum of six fasteners are required for installation; more (up to 12) may be used depending on roof deck type and load requirements.
