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. Clamp setscrew tension should be
veried 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.

The S-5-PV Kit is furnished with the hardware shown at
right, excluding the attachment clamp, which is supplied
separately. (When ProteaBracket™ is used in conjunction with
the S-5-PV Kit, an additional nut is required during installation
to secure the universal PV stud and mounting disk to
ProteaBracket's slotted L-ange.) The S-5-PV Kit is compatible
with most common metal roong materials, including brass.
The S-5!® EdgeGrab™ and S-5-PV Kit together accommodate
PV frame thicknesses 30–48 mm (if EdgeGrab's serrated
L-ange is positioned below the stud's hex nut) and 34–51
mm (if EdgeGrab's serrated L-ange is positioned above the
stud's hex nut).

The embossed panel guide makes the module placement easier.
The mounting disk is multi-directional and rails are not required.
Four strategically placed under-disk hooks assist in wire
management. The PV grab ears that hold the solar panel in
place are broader to allow for ease of installation and precise
module engagement.
Accommodating module thicknesses between 30 and 51
mm, the S-5-PV Kit ts the majority of solar panels on the
market. Using the S-5! mini clamps, it ts most standing
seam metal roofs. When paired with other S-5! products, the
S-5-PV Kit and EdgeGrab will work on most exposed-fastened
and corrugated metal roofs. The standard grab is designed
to t eld conditions (two adjacent panels), while the new
EdgeGrab is designed specically for end conditions.
Wind dynamics are complex; thus, each system should
be reviewed by a qualied licensed professional who
understands wind eects on metal roof design and
construction prior to purchase and installation. For more
detailed information including specications, installation
instructions, and CAD drawings, visit www.S-5.com or your
S-5-PV Kit distributor.
The S-5-PV Kit continues to be
the easiest, most cost-eective
way to install solar panels directly
to standing seam metal roofs,
remaining the most popular
choice worldwide.
Please note: All measurements are rounded to the second
decimal place.
* Patents pending. Certain components featured in
illustration may not be UL listed.
Due to the variety of attachment needs, S-5-PV Kits are
sold separately from S-5! mini clamps. The S-5-PV Kit
ts only S-5! mini clamps, NOT standard clamps.
