S-5-MX™ Clamp

An Economical Solution for Both Single-Folded and Double-Folded Profiles.

S-5-MX Brochure

Fix Solar Panels on Single and Double-Folded Seams

The S-5-MX clamp (“MX” for compatibility with panels common in Mexico) is a single part that fits on both single-folded and double-folded profiles. It is the perfect solution for direct-attach™ mounting (no need to use rails) with the PVKIT® 2.0. The MX can also be used to attach lifelines, walkways, combiner boxes, conduit, cable trays, and other Balance of System components (BOS).

Seamlessly install the clamp on the Knudson KR18, NewTech TRQ250, and the Zimmerman TSS2500, without puncturing the seam material and without violating the manufacturer warranty.

Minis Available

The MX Mini clamp is a more economical solution for lighter-duty attachments where Herculean holding strength is not required. 

The H Mini clamp is a bit shorter than the standard MX with one setscrew rather than two

All standard and Mini clamps undergo rigorous load testing. Negative load normal-to-seam testing (pull-up) is performed on all Mini clamps, and parallel-to-seam testing (drag load) is performed on all standard clamps.

Be sure to check out the many other features on the clamp overview page.

How to Install the S-5-MX Clamp on Your Roof Profile*

Simply insert the setscrew and position the clamp onto the seam. Then, tighten the setscrews to the appropriate torque as specified in the installation instructions. The clamp is now ready for mounting solar modules and a variety of other accessories on metal roofs.

See more detailed installation instructions in the PDF download below.

*S-5! clamps can be repositioned in case of an initial misinstallation. However, due to the subsequent oxidation process that acts as a natural screw lock, we cannot provide any guarantee regarding the performance of a clamp once it has been removed and reinstalled, nor the ability to remove the clamp after this process has occurred.
