Fall Protection
Roofs present unique challenges to workers maintaining equipment, making repairs, cleaning gutters, etc.
There are a variety of reasons a worker must access the rooftop, from servicing equipment, cleaning, maintenance and inspection activities for various ancillaries, such as skylights, solar panels, HVAC equipment, and other utilities. It is imperative that fall protection measures like standing seam roof anchors are in place.
S-5! products are trusted by leading fall arrest system providers and have documented holding strength.
Every single S-5! clamp has been laboratory-tested on a variety of seam types, profiles, & materials to determine ultimate tensile-failure-loads parallel & perpendicular to panel seam.
S-5! products leave roof manufacturer’s warranties intact and are endorsed by virtually every metal roof manufacturer worldwide; their quality assurances are documented and traceable via ISO-9001.
S-5! is the Global Standard for Fall Protection Anchor Points
Solar Mounting
S-5! offers solar PV mounting solutions for exposed-fastened and standing seam metal roofs
Mounting to exposed-fastened roofing requires careful attention for long-term weather-tightness.
S-5! solutions for EF roof types are designed and engineered to outlast the PV array and roof itself. All weatherproofing seals and gaskets are state-of-the art and factory applied. Risky, field applied sealants are NEVER used with S-5! products.
Rail-Less Solar PV Mounting
S-5! invented a direct-attach™, rail-less mounting solution for all metal roof types. The PVKIT attachment solution provides an aesthetically pleasing, low-profile mounting system, allowing the maximum use of space on the roof.
Featuring just three components, the U.S.-made PVKIT enables solar installers to fix solar panels directly onto the metal roof. The PVKIT’s pre-assembled components considerably reduce installation time and cost for PV mounting by eliminating the need for an elaborate rail system, while also providing better load distribution into the roof and substructure. And, it is a mere 15% the weight of rail mountings.
PVKIT®
Rail-Based Solar PV Mounting
Railed and tilted rack function seamlessly with S-5! brackets on any exposed-fastened metal roof profile. S-5! offers a variety of options for flush-rail mounting. Your chosen mounting method can have a profound effect on the cost of materials, total installation time and labor, material handling and logistics, freight expense, etc. S-5! considers all of these factors with their diverse product offerings. They also offer solutions for mounting balance of system components.
Whether mounting a Railed System or Direct-Attach™ Rail-less System, durable attachment to the roof is vital. S-5! offers the most trusted, tested, and engineered metal roof solar mounting solutions in the industry.
Virtually Maintenance-Free Products Backed by an Industry-Leading Lifetime Warranty
Utility Mounting & Other
Still Mounting Rooftop Ancillaries With Wood Blocking or Concrete Blocks for Ballast?
Common methods of securing rooftop utilities, such as satellite dishes and HVAC units, include wood or steel blocking and/or concrete blocks (for ballast) to secure equipment to the roof.
These methods cause corrosive effects and other issues on metal roofs, compromising both the equipment as well as the integrity of the roof itself.
