The S-5-U clamp is by far our most popular and most
versatile clamp. It fits about 85% of the standing seam profiles manufactured
in North America—including most structural and architectural profiles. It can
be used on vertically oriented seams and, by rotating the clamp 90 degrees, it
can also be used on most horizontal 2" seam profiles.
Its simple design, generous dimensioning, and multiple hole
orientations are what make the S-5-U clamp so versatile for use with the S-5!®
snow retention products, such as ColorGard®, as well as with other heavy-duty
applications.
Installation is as simple as setting the specially patented
round-point setscrews into the clamp, placing the clamp on the seam, and
tightening them to the specified tension. Then, affix ancillary items using the
bolt provided with the product. Go to www.S-5.com/tools for information and
tools available for properly attaching and tensioning S-5! clamps.
The S-5-U Mini is a bit shorter than the S-5-U and has one
setscrew rather than two. The mini is the choice for attaching all kinds of
rooftop accessories: signs, walkways, satellite dishes, antennas, rooftop
lighting, lightning protection systems, solar arrays, exhaust stack bracing,
conduit, condensate lines, mechanical equipment—just about anything!
The S-5-U and S-5-U Mini clamps are each furnished with the
hardware shown to the right. Each box also includes a bit tip for tightening
setscrews using an electric screw gun. A structural aluminum attachment clamp,
the S-5-U is compatible with most common metal roofing materials excluding
copper. All included hardware is stainless steel.
