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
• T30 Torx 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.
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.
* For time-saving tool recommendations, call S-5!
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.
