S-5! GripperFix (Strut) 52″

Description

S-5! GripperFix (Strut) 52″

The 52″ GripperFix strut is a lightweight aluminum utility rail for mounting rooftop accessories on metal roofs—HVAC, conduit, piping, walkways, and more. It pairs with S-5 CF or EF Tabs (and appropriate S-5 seam clamps or exposed-fastener attachments) to create a secure, low-profile support without compromising roof performance.

Key Benefits

Quick, Adjustable Mounting: Built-in channels and slotted tab interface simplify positioning and alignment on the roof.

Metal-Roof Optimized: Works with CF Tab (standing seam with S-5 seam clamps) or EF Tab (exposed-fastener panels). 

Durable Aluminum Build: Manufactured from prime 6000-series aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance.

Special Technology

CF/EF Tab Interlock: Tab heads engage the strut’s channel; CF Tab pairs with seam clamps, EF Tab includes gasketed fasteners for exposed-fastener panels.

Warranty

Covered by S-5!’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the roof on which the product is installed.

What this means in practice:

• Coverage lasts as long as the roof remains in service

• Applies when the product is installed correctly and used as intended

• Remedy is repair or replacement of the defective product, at S-5!’s discretion

Best Uses

Rooftop Utilities on Metal Roofs: HVAC stands, pipe and conduit runs, cable trays, walkways, and similar ancillaries.
