s!5 Clamps [RE-wrenches]

[Aaron Wellendorf]

TUMP,

Sorry for the confusion. I'm not talking about lags or fastening through
the metal pan itself. The S5 clamps onto the standing seam, but just not
directly on top of (pinching) the location of the roofing clip that
secures the metal pan to the purlin or the wood deck. I have called my
roofer and Dynamic Fasteners (S5 distributor) this morning to verify
that this is the correct. Dynamic Fasteners is working on providing me
documentation.

By the way: my roofer said he has installed S5s directly pinching the
roof clips on his own house 3 years ago. However, he used two roof clips
at each location to fasten to the wood deck. The S5 clamp was installed
directly over only one of the clips. He admitted his mistake in doing
this, but said he has not noticed a problem so far. However, he can't
see if there is a problem because it is all covered up by the roof
metal. Also, the pans on his house are short.

Aaron

I guess I'm missing something here..... just how does one attach the s 5
clip if it is designed to clamp the standing seam of the roof panel? 
"Therefore, place the S5 clamps within a couple inches of the roof clips
but not directly over them." 
Why would I want to use these? Seems like your saying lag thru the panel
kinda like what is done to a shingled roof? Please clarify! Thanks, TUMP
