What is the Utility Tools Collection?

Metal Roof Clamps

S-5 Metal Roof Clamps: A Diverse Range for Varied Roofing Needs

• S-5-ZF & S-5-USF Clamps: Widely appreciated for their versatility and strength, these clamps establish a secure connection without penetrating the metal roof. Both are ideal for attaching various rooftop accessories, such as solar panels, ducts, or HVAC systems, with slight variations in design and loading capacities.
• S-5-FA & S-5-EF Clamps: Known for their impeccable load distribution and holding capacities, these clamps are specially designed to minimize stress and preserve roof integrity. Select these models when working with fragile material or in situations where equal load distribution is pivotal.

The aforementioned clamps cater to diverse metal roofing profiles and sizes, thus ensuring there’s a solution for virtually every scenario. Your selection should prioritize the specific requirements of your roofing project, such as the material, seam type, and load-bearing needs.

Gripperfix Systems

• Gripperfix (Strut):  Our Gripperfix systems, available in two sizes, 52 In and 26 In, serve as reliable and adjustable mounting solutions. These are particularly useful for applications that demand secure, non-penetrative, and sustainable attachments to your metal roofs.
• Gripperfix (Strut) 52 In: Ideal for applications that require longer spans or when intending to mount larger utilities on roofs.
• Gripperfix (Strut) 26 In: Tailored for shorter spans and is perfect for securing smaller utilities or when dealing with a confined installation space.
• EF and CF for GRIPPERFIX:  Further, we present specialized accessories to enhance the utility of your Gripperfix systems:
• EF for GRIPPERFIX (Tab & 2 Screws): This provides additional anchoring and support, ensuring your utility systems remain securely affixed, even under challenging conditions.
• CF for GRIPPERFIX (Tab Only): When a simpler, yet equally effective, affixation is necessary, this component ensures the stability of your mounted systems without the inclusion of additional screws.

Choosing the right Gripperfix size and accessory depends upon the specific demands of your utility mounting. Contemplate factors like the size of the utility to be mounted, the available space, and the anticipated load to determine the most suitable Gripperfix system and accessory.

Applications of Utility Tools

Utility tools play a critical role across various stages of a construction or roofing project, including:

• Cutting roofing membranes, insulation boards, underlayments, and drywall
• Stapling breathable membranes, house wrap, and insulation sheets
• Measuring and marking roof pitches, batten placement, or material dimensions
• Scraping surfaces, removing old caulk, or cleaning prep areas
• Holding, organising, and carrying tools safely while on ladders or scaffolds

Installation Tips

• Use Sharp Blades: Always start with a sharp blade for clean, safe cuts. Replace dull blades regularly to prevent accidents and reduce strain.
• Measure Twice, Cut Once: For accurate material fitting, double-check measurements using a dependable tape.
• Secure Your Tools: Use a tool pouch or belt to keep your hands free and tools accessible when working at height.
• Test Stapler Pressure: When using a stapler or nailer, adjust the pressure depending on the material thickness to avoid over-penetration.
• Maintain Regularly: Keep your tools clean and lubricated where applicable to ensure longer life and smoother operation.
