Description
S-5! S-5-KHD 3” Insert
The S-5-KHD 3″ Insert is the retrofit/eave insert for the S-5-KHD heavy-duty standing seam clamp. It slides up into the bulb-shaped snap-together seam to reinforce clamp engagement on distinctive profiles like Lysaght® Klip-Lok® 406, AEP Span Klip-Rib®, McElroy Mirage, and Metal Sales Clip-Loc—delivering high holding strength without roof penetration.
Key Benefits
Retrofit/Eave Ready: Purpose-built for existing roofs; installs at the eave by sliding into the seam (no panel disassembly).
Heavy-Duty Grip: Reinforces the KHD clamp on bulb-shaped seams for snow retention, solar, and other high-load attachments.
Zero Penetrations: Preserves roof warranties by clamping the seam—no holes in panels.
Special Technology
Klip-Rib®/Klip-Lok® Interface: Short insert engages the concealed clip area to increase clamp bearing on compatible profiles.
System Matched: Designed exclusively for the S-5-KHD clamp; use the 6″ insert for new construction, 3″ insert for retrofit/eave installs.
Warranty
S-5! Limited Lifetime Warranty (per distributor listing).
Best Uses
Snow Retention at Eaves: Retrofit installations where only a single row is required/feasible at the eave.
Solar Attachments: Reinforced clamp engagement on Klip-Lok/Klip-Rib-type seams for rail or rail-less systems.
