S-5-S Metal Roof Clamps

The S-5-S (“S” stands for snap-lock) is a non-penetrating, standing seam metal roof (SSMR) clamp. The S is designed for most popular vertical snap-together profiles -- typically with vertical dimensions of 1.5” (38 mm) and 1.75” (44 mm).

The S-5-S clamp was created specifically for popular snap-together profiles— including residential profiles by Taylor Metals and Easy Lock Standing Seam. For horizontal seams under .540 inches (like the Firestone UC4) the S-5-S or S-5 -S Mini can be used to avoid the necessity of crimping the seam.

The S is also the perfect solution for traditional, single-fold (angle-seam) horizontal profiles of 1” (25 mm) and 1.5” (38 mm) seam height dimensions and all similar seam types.

Specifications:

• Use on vertical snap-together profiles
• Use on single-folded with horizontal projection ≤ 0.54” (13 mm)
• Use for heavy-duty applications, such as snow retention
• Two T-30 Torx round-point setscrews (Torx bit tip provided)
• One M8 bolt included

It is also available in the smaller S-5-S (Mini).
