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 the S-5-N and S-5-N 1.5

have been properly spaced and conﬁgured.

Notice to S-5! 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.

IMPORTANT: The S-5-N, S-5-N Mini, S-5-N 1.5, and S-5-N 1.5 Mini are designed to ﬁt

numerous (but dimensionally speciﬁc) 1” - 1.5” nail strip proﬁles; however these

proﬁle types are vast with new variations coming into the market regularly. These

clamps may not be suitable for every such proﬁle. To avoid potential damage to

roof seam it is important to verify clamp-to-roof suitability. Consult the load table

for suitability at the S-5! website: www.S-5.com.

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)

To Install S-5-N and S-5-N 1.5

1. Partially thread the setscrews 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.

Note: Seams that exceed maximum allowance (see illustrations to right) at the widest part of the

seam will require hand crimping to allow the clamp to ﬁt.

Tighten the setscrews using a screw gun* and the included screw gun

bit tip. 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 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.
