Description
S-5! S-5-KHD 6” Insert
The S-5! KHD 6″ Insert is a stainless-steel in-seam reinforcement for the S-5-KHD heavy-duty clamp on Klip-Rib®/Klip-Lok®–type standing seam panels. Designed for new construction, it snaps into the underside of the panel prior to installation to increase clamp holding strength for demanding applications like snow retention and PV attachments.
Key Benefits
Heavy-Duty Reinforcement: Boosts S-5-KHD clamp capacity on bulb-shaped concealed-fix seams for high loads (snow/PV).
New-Build Optimized: 6″ insert snaps into the panel’s underside before the roof is laid—fast, consistent placement.
Seam Protection: Distributes clamp forces to help protect distinctive Klip-Rib/Klip-Lok-style ribs.
Special Technology
Concealed-Fix Compatibility: Engineered for profiles such as Lysaght® Klip-Lok® 406, AEP Span Klip-Rib®, McElroy Mirage, and Metal Sales Clip-Loc.
Stainless Insert Body: Precision-formed stainless steel provides durable, corrosion-resistant reinforcement.
Warranty
Backed by S-5! limited lifetime performance warranty when used within a properly engineered system.
Best Uses
Snow Retention (ColorGard®): Use with S-5-KHD clamps at the eave/intermediate rows as specified.
Solar + Utility Attachments: Where added clamp strength on bulb seam profiles is required.
