Install Manual
To Install S-5-N Mini and S-5-N 1.5 Mini
1. Partially thread the setscrew into the clamp by hand.
2. Position clamp at desired location along the seam.
3. Make sure the toe of the clamp engages the female part of the seam as shown.
4. Tighten the setscrew using a screw gun* and the included screw gun bit tip. The
setscrew will dimple the seam material but will not penetrate it. When relying on
published load values, setscrew tension should be verified periodically using a
calibrated torque wrench as indicated below to ensure the tool is consistently
achieving the proper torque range.
Once installed correctly, these clamps require no maintenance or re-inspection for
the life of the roof.

Products are protected by multiple U.S. and foreign patents. Visit the website at www.S-5.com for complete information on patents and trademarks. For maximum holding strength, 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. Clamp
setscrew tension should be verified using a calibrated torque wrench between 160 and 180 inch pounds when used on 22ga steel, and between 130 and 150 inch pounds for all other metals and
thinner gauges of steel. Consult the S-5! website at www.S-5.com for published data regarding holding strength.

Note: Seams that exceed maximum allowance (see illustrations on front page) at the widest part
of the seam will require hand crimping to allow the clamp to fit.
