Installation Instructions
S-5!® Warning! Please use these products responsibly! Visit our website or
contact your S-5! distributor for available load test results. The user and/or
installer of these parts is responsible for all necessary engineering and design
to ensure S-5! clamps have been properly spaced and configured.
Notice to S-5! product users: Due to the many variables involved with
specific panel products, climates, snow melt phenomena, and job particulars,
the manufacturer cannot and does not express any opinions as to the
suitability of any S-5! assembly for any specific application and assumes no
liability with respect thereto. S-5! products are tested for ultimate holding
strength on various profile types and materials. This information is available
from the S-5! website: www.S-5.com. This document is an installation guide
only and the photographs and drawings herein are for the purpose of
illustrating installation, tools and techniques, not system designs. Information
contained within is intended to apply to the document as a whole.
The S-5-T, S-5-Z, S-5-Q, and S-5-H clamps fit "T” and “bulb” shaped
seams. Please see individual clamp product sheets or the S-5! website for
pro
le details and clamp dimensions.
Tools Needed
• Screw Gun*
• 3/16” Allen Bit Tip (Provided)
• Dial-Calibrated Torque Wrench
(For accurate tension values, do NOT use a clicking torque wrench.)

1. Partially thread the provided round-point setscrews into the clamp by
hand.
2. Position clamp at desired location along seam with the bolt hole in the
correct (upslope or downslope) orientation.
3. For S-5-T, S-5-Z, and S-5-Q (illustrated in image 2A): Install by holding
the clamp insert piece under the edge of the seam, then roll the clamp into
position over the seam and the insert.
For S-5-H (illustrated in image 2B): Install by positioning clamp at
desired location on seam. Then, slide insert into place.
4. Tighten the setscrews at the base of the clamp using a screw gun* and the
included screw gun bit tip. Standard clamps requiring two setscrews
should be tensioned and re-tensioned as the seam material compresses,
i.e. tighten the first setscrew, then the second; then repeat until each
setscrew achieves the recommended torque. The setscrews will dimple the
seam material but will not penetrate it. When relying upon tested load
values, setscrew tension should be verified periodically throughout
installation using a calibrated torque wrench at 160 to 180 inch pounds on
22ga steel and 130 to 150 inch pounds on all other metals and thinner
gauges of steel. Once installed correctly, these clamps require no
maintenance or
re-
inspection for the life of the roof (See reverse for
setscrew torque table and units).
* For time-saving tool recommendations, call S-5!
5. For critical attachment applications utilizing an M8-1.25 X 16 mm hex
flange bolt, tighten the included M8 bolt to 160 inch pounds (13 foot
pounds).
