How do you use these with tiltable mounts? The increased pullout force is awesome, but if you want to tilt your panels more than the roof angle, you have to have an extension somehow.
The ProteaBracket has been used with tilt racking systems in the past but it is most ideal for flush mount arrays. The best bracket for installing a tilt racking system on and exposed fastened roof would be our SolarFoot or VersaGard. Please let us know if you have any other questions we can help you with by emailing us at support@s-5.com
@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy Too late, I used them for tilt brackets. THEY WERE SO STRONG! I threw a 2x4 against them to stay on the roof while I worked. Very happy with your products!
@@ADDvanced Thank you again for using our products and for watching our video!
Will this work with Florida building codes? How does it hold up in the salt air? Thanks.
S-5! clamps and brackets are used all over Florida in every jurisdiction and our extensive load testing (www.s-5.com/load-tests/) ensures that you will have no problems engineering the attachments to your wind speeds. We have also done salt fog testing on our clamps and brackets and they are warrantied to last the life of the roof. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Can this be used on a 29 gauge metal roof?
Unfortunately, we do not recommend sheet metal only attachment on 29 gauge material. For panels thinner than 26 gauge, we recommend using our structurally attached brackets such as our SolarFoot, VersaBrackets, or VersaGard.
What is the wind rating on these. Wouldn't it be stronger to mount into roof purlins ? Thanks
Hey Mark, while we wait for our Support team to get you a precise answer to your question, we wanted to let you know that you've been selected as this week's winner in our Summer of Solar Giveaway! Keep an eye out for an email from kreichert@s-5.com so we can get that $30 Amazon Gift card sent over to you. Thanks very much for your comment!
We offer a wide range of brackets that include rib mounted brackets that attach into the sheet metal only and structurally mounted brackets that fasten through into the decking or purlins. Both options are lab tested to be extremely strong and can easily be engineered to just about any wind conditions. You can view all of our load data on the Load Tests page of our site. www.s-5.com/load-tests
While fastening directly into the decking or purlins can often be a stronger method of attachments the purlins in many cases are not spaced properly or in the right locations for where the attachments need to land so in cases like this a rib mounted bracket allows for universal placement along the length of the rib, giving more flexibility the array designer and installer.
@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy Thanks first thing I ever won ! Appreciate it.
If you notice, you must at least have 26 gage panels, most roofers will use 29 gage panels the thinnest on the market!!! Be careful!!!
You are correct, 29 gauge is very thin material and typically the best approach on these thin panels is to use one of structurally-attached though-fastened brackets such as our SolarFoot, VersaBracket, CorruBracket, or VersaGard. We do also have our ProteaBracket tested on 29ga as a sheet metal only attachment and, while lower than thicker gauges, the load values are still good and can easily be used to properly engineer a solar array. If you have any other question about our products or our load testing please reach out to us at support@s-5.com.
Its a lot cheaper than buying rails and other "L" type hardware and mounting is fast!
😂
It’s too bad these are $13 each.
Our ProteaBracket master box (100 qty) MSRP is $8.70ea. It is quite possible that you are purchasing through an indirect distributor and the price is getting additional markups. You can see our full list of direct distributors on the How to Buy page of our website - www.s-5.com/how-to-buy/
@@TheMetalRoofingAcademy Hello Sir, I am Sanat from India.I have 15 panel for residential use.i want to fix panels on Tin shed.Is possible to get on line.and price of total items.
@@MrSanat2012 For your typical trapezoidal roof, it would be 38 brackets and 38 PV kits as a reference. In order to assist further, we will need some additional information, so please email us at info@s-5.com at the earliest.
