Aug. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- PLAINVILLE, Conn. – Installers of attachment systems on standing seam metal roofs (SSMR) can now rest assured they will have the best clamp in the industry for resisting wind uplift and seismic vibration, when compared with single set-screw clamps.

The A-2™ AcecCamp® is one of the strongest clamps tested, compared with single set-screw clamps, in the SSMR market. The A-2™ AceClamp®’s unique design virtually eliminates the need for periodically re-torquing clamps to preserve manufacturers’ warranties, as is recommended for other SSMR clamp systems.

The A-2™’s innovative solution prevents torque back-out, caused by wind flutter or constant seismic vibration, by employing a distinctive “push-pin” design that locks two stainless steel pins into the roof panel to secure the clamp. The design effectively prevents loosening or torque back-out and is Patent-Applied-For.

Prior to the A-2™, manufacturers relied on round or concaved-headed set-screws that turned and rotated into the metal roof’s surface to penetrate and lock into the metal seam. This typically resulted in scratches or damage to the panels’ surface. The A-2™’s sliding push-pin design eliminates this concern. The A-2™ solution does not damage or scratch the panel surfaces, thus upholding manufacturers’ warranties while assuring one of the strongest clamp systems in the industry.

For solar-racking installations, the A-2™ saves time and additional costs where grounding cable brackets are used. The A-2™ is designed with a grounding cable groove in the clamp.  A stainless steel sleeve and set-screw kit securely hold the grounding wire in place. For the installer, this feature eliminates the need for a separate grounding attachment, as the cable groove is incorporated into the clamp itself. The stainless steel sleeve also prevents corrosion of the grounding wire while enhancing electrical conductivity.
