S-5! Clamps – Can Be Used For?
The S-5! range of clamps and brackets fall into 5 broad categories:
- Attaching utilities such as AC /HVAV units, Solar/PV arrays
- Supporting parapet walls, walkways, and access ladders
- Providing fall protection
- Strengthening wind protection
- Attaching signs, pipes, light fixtures, antennas,
The S-5! and GRIPPERFIX system offer solutions for attaching absolutely anything to a metal roof.
These brackets deliver superior engineering strength and are easy to attach directly to the roof. All without violating the integrity of the roof or the roof manufacturer’s warranty.
The Most Popular Clamp
S-5! series includes an enormous range of clamps to suit all metal roof profiles and requirements. The two most popular models are the S-5-S and the S-5-S Mini.
The S-5-S and S-5-S Mini were designed specifically for the popular snap together and batten cap type roofing profiles such as Snap-Line 45®.
They also work perfectly with unusual profiles with a horizontal element such as single fold. Their use can even eliminate the need for crimping seams.
S5-S Clamps
The S-5-S is the big sibling to the mini and it’s designed for heavy duty holding power. It has two holding bolts instead of the Mini’s single bolt.
S5-S Mini Clamps
The S-5-S mini quite a bit smaller than its bigger sibling and is ideal for attaching rooftop accessories such as antennas, satellite dishes, lightning protection systems, and flue bracing.
Both the S-5-S and the S-5-S Mini are designed for seams that stand at least 2.5cms high.
There must be a height difference equal to or less than 0.635cm between the male and female parts of the panel.
Wind Reinforcement
S-5! WindClamps are an extremely cost effective way to provide significant wind reinforcement. In fact, S-5! WindClamps can increase wind and uplift and resistance by as much as 100%.
Fall Protection
S-5! clamps deliver superior fall protection for working at heights and have been laboratory tested to hold against high intensity loads both perpendicular and parallel to the profile seam.
S-5! clamps fit most common Australian roofing profiles and the clever design means no roof penetrations are required.
In fact, you’ll be reassured to know that the clever little round-point screws that form a firm grip on the metal ribs won’t void your manufacturer’s warranty.
HVAC, Solar, Satellite Dishes & More
S-5! Clamps and the GRIPPERFIX system of metal rails provides the ultimate method for attaching solar panel arrays, HVAC units, satellite dishes, TV antennas, pipes, access ladders, lightning protection and in fact anything else safely and securely to your roof.
The innovative design requires no roof penetrations on standing seams and that means no messing around with sealants or voiding your roofing warranty.
The S-5!range of roof clamps use non-penetrating flat nosed stainless steel screws to press the metal profile rib against the other side of the clamp. The screws will leave a slight indentation but will not penetrate the metal.
The S-5! clamp series also offer the ideal way to secure walkways, access ladders, piping, cable conduits and even advertising banners.
S-5! clamps are also great for securing bracing struts for flues, parapet walls, and other items prone to high wind loads.
The absence of roof penetrations maintains the roof integrity and avoids any possibility of water leaks.
S-5! also makes a range of Brackets designed to suit Corrugated and 5-Rib Metal Roofing Profiles (including Trimdek & Monoclad).
These Brackets are fastened either directly into the sheeting or through the sheet into the structure. They come with a factory applied non-curing butyl sealant that prevents water ingress.
Real performance – that’s a promise
All S-5! and GRIPPERFIX products are covered by a 25 year warranty against defects in workmanship or material. You could call it a cast-iron guarantee but ours is even better because all the S-5! products are actually made from stainless steel or aluminium.
S-5! Aluminium clamps are completely compatible with painted or unpainted Galvanized Steel, Zincalume and Colorbond.
Of course, they are also compatible with Aluminium (painted, bare or anodized), as well as being compatible with titanium-zinc (VM & Rheinzink), Stainless Steel. S-5! Has a brass clamp that is compatible with everything the aluminium clamp isn’t.
The experts at No.1 Roofing and Building supplies can show you how the S-5! system of clamps and Brackets can provide a practical, cost effective, and easy to install solution for your next project. What’s more, it comes with a 25 year warranty.
