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.
With the Universal GRIPPERFIX System, you can achieve a secure and dependable attachment, while preserving the integrity of your metal roof - and for lower costs than all the “wrong ways”!
Metal roofing offers a durable and maintenance-free roofing solution. Its lifespan is significantly reduced when inferior rooftop mounting is performed. GRIPPERFIX is a convenient method for attaching rooftop ancillaries without compromising roof integrity, warranties or safety. GRIPPERFIX provides the cost-effective, secure, rust-free and long-lasting metal-rooftop mount you need.
The 6000 series aluminum strut with stainless steel hardware is designed to last the life of the roof. Factory-applied, EPDM offers a weatherproof seal on exposed-fastened applications.
Designed with ease of installation in mind – two struts with hardware can be installed in under seven minutes.
Adjustable in both axes; mount anywhere on the roof with any number of anchorages desired. Load are distributed over multiple bearing points.
“I discovered GRipperFix about six months ago and have used it to mount rooftop HVAC on warehouses and shopping centres. What impressed me is you don’t have to screw through the roof itself. It looks neater than alternative mounting methods, and because there is no drilling of holes through the roof, you don’t have to worry about proper sealing, damage to the roof, water damage or leaks, and the risk of potential liability. GRipperFix gives you peace of mind and makes everything else look like rubbish.”

Long-term metal roofs deserve long-term, durable attachment methods. GRIPPERFIX is a perfect fix for installing HVAC, satellite dishes, light fixtures, conduit, service walkways, solar PV power electronics and other rooftop utilities. Offering a zero-penetration attachment solution for standing seam and other concealed-fastened roofs, GRIPPERFIX also securely attaches to exposed-fastened roofs - all while still allowing free drainage beneath the system.
Simplify utility attachment with patented, non-penetrating S-5! clamps and GRIPPERFIX technology. The system is compatible with all standing seam metal roof profiles.
This safe and cost-effective rooftop attachment system requires only the strut, Mini clamps and Concealed-Fix (CF) Tabs. Just slide the tabs into the strut and attach to the top of the clamp with stainless bolts provided.
GRIPPERFIX components enable customization to your roof and application.
Note: All components are sold separately.
Unique design has channels for adjustments and placement on roof. Available in multiple stock lengths.

You can mount a variety of ancillaries to your standing seam or exposed-fastened metal roof: microinverters, satellite dishes, conduit, junction boxes, HVAC and much more.
(Pricing starts at under $25 for EF; under $40 for CF)
Corrosion resulting from pooling water, leaching concrete (causing rust) and rotting timber are all prime reasons to use a non-damaging rooftop mount.
(Pricing starts at under $40 for EF; under $60 for CF)
Condensing-type units don’t always need to duct through the roof. Sometimes they simply need a place to sit. How do you mount it so that the panels are unharmed, and anchor it so that it doesn’t move? GRIPPERFIX it in 7 minutes!
Eliminate unsightly and corrosive wood blocking when mounting the following: gas piping, electrical conduit and condensate lines.
Install the first two clamps. Slide the tab into the strut channel and attach the strut to the clamps. Slide M8 bolts into the slot and place ancillary item over bolts to complete assembly.
Slide the EF tab into the strut channel. Partially fasten first strut to the roof ribs. Slide M8 bolts into slot. Place ancillary mounting holes over bolt and fasten second strut to roof ribs.
