@@Sand.Springs you're hired

The versatility and strength of the S-5-K Grip Clamp is what truly sets it apart from competitors. Here at S-5!, we are passionate about providing continuous innovations for metal roofing applications, and we greatly appreciate your support! Stay tuned for more valuable content in the near future.

@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy Excited to see what you come up with next. Keep pushing the boundaries.

Thank you so much for watching our video on the S-5-R465 clamp! We're thrilled to hear that you found the information valuable and we hope you enjoy our other Clamp Showcase videos. We appreciate your support and look forward to bringing you more useful content.

@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy You're welcome. Keep it up.

You nailed it! Attention to detail is key here at S-5! and that's how we stay at the forefront of the metal roofing industry. Stay tuned for more Clamp Showcase videos in the future and thank you for the support.

@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy Absolutely. Looking forward to the next Clamp Showcase. Keep up the great work.

Our PVKonceal (www.s-5.com/products/pvkonceal/) interfaces with that slot, but for projects not utilizing PVKonceal, it isn’t used for anything.

None of our clamps or brackets are certified for fall protection by themselves, but we have industry partners who design certified fall protection systems which utilize our products - often our standard sized clamps.

@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy thanks. which partners, if you can say? I've seen standing seam fall protection clamps for $200+. it seemed to me that a couple of your standard clamps could be used together for much less.

@@ronaldchong You can see a list of our fall protection distribution partners here (www.s-5.com/how-to-buy/?regionId=5f4523c59f8660000ba09831&productCategory=Fall%20Protection). However please feel free to email us at [email protected] where one of our technical support reps can speak more specifically about your needs than we can on a public forum.

Hi Martin, For our self-piercing fasteners, we recommend to use a screw gun which can be set to a specific stopping point so that after a few screws, you won’t really need to worry about over-torquing. Being said, our self-piercing fasteners have an epdm washer, and you’ll want to watch for the visual indication that the washer is compressed. That will be your visual cue that the fastener has reached the appropriate torque and stop.

You’ll want to use a grounding lug on each section of bonded sub-array or array. Our PVKIT will bond each column of modules, and by using a bonding jumper (or similar) to bond column to column, the entire sub-array will be bonded. Then, a grounding lug can be used to run a copper wire to ground. The grounding lug can attach to a module frame or a PVKIT disk. Grounding lugs, bonding jumpers, and other useful solar hardware can be found on the hardware section of our website (www.s-5.com/hardware), and can be purchased through our distributors.

While some projects certainly still have more success with a tilt mount system, the roof top solar industry has largely shifted towards flush mount systems. This is mostly since module efficiency has improved to the point that the ROI from the project is often better with flush mount systems compared to tilt. Flush mount systems can have more modules/roof space, compared to tilted modules which can get better efficiency per module due to the ideal tilt, but module/area is lower since space is lost due to shadows from the raised modules. Tilt mount systems also face much greater wind forces compared to a flush mount system.

Which hooks are you referrring to? If you mean the GripperFix struts, they're available through all our distributors. Here's a link to one place they can be purchased through. buys-5.com/gripperfix-utility-mounting-system-for-metal-roofing

You can find them on the Hardware section of our website at www.S-5.com/hardware

Yes, you heard that correctly, corrugated flooring. www.homedepot.com/p/Rubber-Cal-Corrugated-Composite-Rib-4-ft-x-8-ft-Black-Rubber-Flooring-32-sq-ft-03-168-W-CO-08/302635091 Corrugation is truly used in all sorts of applications.

We're glad to hear you found the video helpful!

Thanks for reaching out! This question is a tough one, and the answer will likely vary based on the exact kind of metal roof you have. Please reach out to us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to discuss this with you further on a project level. Roof flashings are not something S-5! manufactures, but we certainly have industry partners who are experts in this subject matter.

We are glad you found a solution you like. Just please note that this project is on an exposed-fastener roof, which has hundreds of penetrations already - as is the way these roofs are supposed to be installed. We have a non-penetrative solution for standing seam roofs which is what you might have.

We entirely agree. This video is for visual demonstration purposes only. We don't want you to place your modules upside down.

What I believe you are describing is a common misconception. What you are referring to is when buildings are designed with a "slippery roof load reduction". This is quite rare, and in nearly every high snow load area, using a slippery roof load reduction is against building code since buildings must be able to safely withstand the absolute most snow load the project location could experience. Adding snow retention on those roofs does not pose a risk, since the buildings are designed to handle the entire snow load that building code dictates.

Thanks, Michael! Happy to hear it was useful to you.

We are sorry to hear this. Please reach out to us at [email protected] and we will connect you directly with a distributor who makes sense for your project.

We're very glad you liked it!
