S-5-NH 1.5 Mini

The S-5! NH 1.5 Mini Clamp is a lighter-duty version of the NH 1.5 clamp, tailored for 1.5″-high nail-strip metal roof profiles with wider horizontal base dimensions. It features a reversible hinge insert that conforms to the panel seam shape and a toe to engage the female portion, helping to avoid damage at the contact point. The single upward-angled T-30 Torx round-point setscrew simplifies tool access, and because it omits the M8 bolt, the clamp is more economical and streamlined. It’s suitable for lighter rooftop accessories such as spacers, signage, conduit, lighting, or small solar hardware—not for full snow retention assemblies.

Key Features:

• Designed for 1.5″ (38 mm) nail-strip panels with base dimension > 0.475″ and ≤ 0.800″
• Reversible hinge insert with toe engages female seam portion to reduce panel damage
• One upward-angled round-point T-30 setscrew (no bolt included)
• Economical, lighter-duty alternative to the standard two-screw NH 1.5 clamp
• All hardware stainless steel; clamp body and hinge insert aluminum

• Seam height: 1.5″ (38 mm) nail-strip profiles
• Base-of-seam horizontal dimension: > 0.475″ and ≤ 0.800″
• Setscrew: One 3/8-24 × 0.80″ round-point T-30 stainless steel setscrew
• Material: 6000-series aluminum body and hinge insert; 300-series stainless steel hardware
• Includes: Clamp body, hinge insert, one setscrew, Torx-T30 bit tip; bolt not included

• Confirm the roof panel is 1.5″ (38 mm) nail-strip type and that the seam base dimension is between > 0.475″ and ≤ 0.800″.
• Insert the hinged insert into the clamp body; ensure the toe of the insert is positioned toward the female portion of the seam and that the hinge is staked on one end.
• Position clamp over the seam at desired mounting location.
• Insert the single round-point T-30 setscrew and hand thread until clamp body seats against seam.
• Tighten the setscrew with the correct torque per S-5! specification.
• Mount the accessory using the clamp’s top area or separate hardware; after initial load or seasonal shifts, re-check alignment and setscrew torque.

Q: What is the “H” in NH 1.5 Mini stand for?
A: It stands for “hinge,” indicating the clamp uses a hinged insert that adapts to both wide and medium nail-strip profiles.

Q: Does the NH 1.5 Mini include a bolt for accessory mounting?
A: No. The Mini version omits the M8 bolt; accessories must be attached using separate hardware if needed.

Q: Can the NH 1.5 Mini Clamp be used with snow retention systems like ColorGard?
A: No. Mini clamps are not compatible with ColorGard, SnoRail, or SnoFence systems.

Q: What materials are used and how do they protect the panel seams?
A: The clamp body and hinged insert are aluminum; hardware is stainless steel. The hinged insert with toe avoids puncturing or damaging the seam, preserving the panel finish.
