S-5-E Clamp
®
The S-5-E clamp is designed specially
for double-folded standing seam
roof proles having the appropriate
dimensioning.
Although a bit smaller and less
expensive than the S-5-U, for these
proles, the S-5-E is just as strong.
The S-5-E is perfect for use with S-5!®
ColorGard® snow retention systems and
other heavy-duty applications.
Installation is as simple as placing the
clamp on the seam and tightening the
patented round-point setscrews to the
specied tension. Then, ax ancillary
items using the bolt provided. Go to
www.S-5.com/tools for information and
tools available for properly attaching
and tensioning S-5! clamps.
S-5-E and S-5-E Mini

S-5-E Mini Clamp
The S-5-E Mini is a bit shorter than the
S-5-E and has one setscrew rather than
two. The Mini is the choice for attaching
all kinds of rooftop accessories: signs,
walkways, satellite dishes, antennas,
rooftop lighting, lightning protection
systems, solar arrays, exhaust stack
bracing, conduit, condensate lines,
mechanical equipment—just about
anything!*
The S-5-E clamp is secured
with our patented roundpoint setscrews without
piercing the metal roof
panel, thereby preserving
*S-5! Mini clamps can be used with RamGard® unitized snow
guards but are not compatible and should not be used with our
SnoRail™/SnoFence™ or ColorGard® snow retention systems.
The right way to attach almost anything to metal roofs!

The strength of the S-5-E clamp is in its simple design.
The patented setscrews will slightly dimple the metal
seam material but will not puncture it—leaving roof
warranties intact.
The S-5-E and S-5-E Mini clamps are each furnished with
the hardware shown to the right. Each box also includes
a bit tip for tightening setscrews using an electric screw
gun. A structural aluminum attachment clamp, the S-5-E
is compatible with most common metal roong materials
excluding copper. All included hardware is stainless
steel. Please visit www.S-5.com for more information
including CAD details, metallurgical compatibilities and
specications.
The S-5-E and S-5-E Mini have been tested for load-tofailure results on a variety of double-folded standing
seam roofs, from leading manufacturers of panels and
panel-forming machines. The independent lab test
reports found on our website at www.S-5.com prove that
S-5! holding strength is unmatched in the industry.
