®The right way to attach almost anything to metal roofs! S-5-U and S-5-U Mini888-825-3432 | www.S-5.com S-5-U Clamp
The S-5-U clamp is by far our most
popular and most versatile clamp.
It fits about 85% of the standing
seam profiles manufactured in North
America—including most structural and
architectural profiles. It can be used on
vertically oriented seams and, by rotating
the clamp 90 degrees, it can also be used
on most horizontal 2" seam profiles.
Its simple design, generous dimensioning,
and multiple hole orientations are what
make the S-5-U clamp so versatile for use
with the S-5!® snow retention products,
such as ColorGard®, as well as with other
heavy-duty applications.
Installation is as simple as setting the
specially patented round-point setscrews
into the clamp, placing the clamp on
the seam, and tightening them to the
specified tension. Then, affix ancillary
items using the bolt provided with the
product. Go to www.S-5.com/tools
for information and tools available for
properly attaching and tensioning S-5!
clamps.
S-5-U Mini Clamp
The S-5-U Mini is a bit shorter than the
S-5-U 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!*
*S-5! mini clamps are not compatible with, and should not
be used with S-5! SnoRail™/SnoFence™ or ColorGard® snow
retention systems.
Please note: All measurements are rounded to
the second decimal place.

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
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.

The strength of the S-5-U clamp is in its simple design. The patented
setscrews will slightly dimple the metal seam material but not pierce it—
leaving the roof manufacturer's warranty intact.

clamp usage.
The S-5-U and S-5-U 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-U
is compatible with most common metal roofing materials
excluding copper. All included hardware is stainless
steel. Please visit www.S-5.com for more information
including CAD details, metallurgical compatibilities and
specifications.
The S-5-U clamp has been tested for load-to-failure results
on most major brands and profiles of standing seam
roofing. The independent lab test data found at
www.S-5.com can be used for load-critical designs and
applications. S-5!® holding strength is unmatched in the
industry.
