<div dir="auto">Yes, the angled set screw is a huge help. We use a lot of S-5-S and S-5-U here, but S-5-N is becoming more popular. It boils down to a combination of the "right" clamp and which one has load test results. Some seams accommodate multiple clamp types. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Jun 13, 2021, 8:51 PM Nick A Lucchese <<a href="mailto:lucchesesolar@me.com">lucchesesolar@me.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">I\u2019ve been liking the <a href="https://www.zoro.com/proto-dial-torque-wrench-drive-size-38-in-j6177f/i/G1663663/?q=G1663663" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Proto torque wrench</a> I purchased from Zoro a couple years back. I often wrap the head in masking tape to protect the roofing finish when torquing S-5 clamps due to the limited distance you end up with to the finish roof material especially if the standing seam is tilted at an acute angle on set screw side. I use the same wrench for the Ironridge clamps. Also, surely you\u2019re specific to which clamp you\u2019re selecting but there\u2019s definitely a few clamps that are more universal than others and when the roof profile allows I always select the S-5-N over some of the others. That little return profile hook is key to a successful bite without trying to walk up as it tightens. I see it has also been improved again with an angled set screw to eliminate the tilted seam headache I spoke about above.
