S-5! RibBracket – Versatile Metal Roof Attachment Solution

The S-5! RibBracket is an innovative solution designed for attaching various fixtures to metal roofs. Specifically engineered for exposed-fastened, trapezoidal roof profiles, this versatile bracket ensures a secure and weatherproof installation. With its factory-applied EPDM rubber gasket, the RibBracket eliminates concerns about leaks and provides a reliable method for mounting solar panels and other ancillaries directly onto the roof, contributing to a safer and more efficient setup.

Product Features

Durable Construction

The S-5! RibBracket features structural aluminum design, making it both lightweight and robust. This feature ensures long-lasting durability, capable of withstanding various environmental conditions while maintaining a secure attachment for any roof-mounted application.

Simple Installation Process

With minimal surface preparation required, the RibBracket is easy to install. Users simply need to wipe away excess oil or debris before positioning it on the roof. This straightforward installation reduces complexity and saves valuable time during setup.

Pre-Punched Holes for Enhanced Stability

The inclusion of pre-punched holes significantly simplifies the mounting process. These holes ensure precise fastener placement, facilitating a tight fit that enhances the stability of whatever is being attached to the roof.

Weather-proof Design

Equipped with a factory-applied EPDM rubber gasket, the RibBracket provides excellent weather resistance. This feature protects against moisture infiltration and UV damage, ensuring that the attached fixtures remain secure and functional over time.

Flexible Attachment Options

The slotted top hole design of the RibBracket allows for the use of standard M8 nuts and bolts, offering flexibility in attachment methods. This adaptability makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including solar panel systems and other roof fixtures.

How It Works

The RibBracket operates by securing itself directly to the crown of the trapezoidal metal roof panels. Its patented design straddles the roof profile and provides a robust platform for attaching various accessories. This mechanism is user-friendly, accommodating both professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Fastening Method

Utilizing included stainless steel self-tapping screws or bulb-type rivets, the RibBracket ensures a secure hold. When fastened correctly, it maintains structural integrity, even under heavy loads, making it an ideal choice for mounting equipment such as solar panels.

EPDM Gasket Functionality

The integrated EPDM rubber gasket not only aids in securing the RibBracket but also plays a crucial role in protecting the installation from weather damage. This ensures that the setup remains intact and functional over time without compromising performance.

Nut and Bolt Configuration

The configuration of the M8-1.25 hex flange nut and bolt provides an adjustable yet firm connection for added reliability. Tightening the bolts to the specified torque ensures that the installation remains sound, even in challenging weather conditions.
