The new L-Foot
from AceClamp®/PMC Industries makes installing solar racking systems easier
than ever. Installers no longer have to contend with wide, L-shaped brackets
that prevent complete access to mounting clamp fasteners.
The new L-Foot does
not cover the top-mounted bolt on the AceClamp® ML or impede access to the AceClamp®
A2® side bolt, making any adjustment or re-torquing quick and easy. The
bracket’s shorter foot allows
complete access to the clamp’s grounding cable channel, so the bracket doesn’t
have to be removed to install the grounding wire.
“After we talked with
installers about what they wanted in an L-shaped bracket, we modified the
design of our bracket to improve functionality with the AceClamp® ML,” said Jim
Bailey, president of AceClamp®/PMC Industries. “Our L-Foot provides access to
the top mounting bolt, which makes installing solar racking systems so much
easier and quicker, not to mention assuring a strong, secure attachment. Now we
pack an equal quantity of the L-Foot in with our mounting clamps so installers
have everything they need to get their job done right and fast.”
The FM-Approved
AceClamp® ML is a standing seam metal roof (SSMR) clamp system that can
accommodate almost any application or roof seam profile. It is UL 2703
compliant. Its two-piece design allows installation at any point on the seam
with one of the tightest vibration tested grips in the industry. The single
fastening screw is top-loaded, providing easy, quick access for the contractor,
completing installation in less
than half the time of conventional side-mounting systems.
The AceClamp® A2® is
one of the strongest clamps tested, compared with single set-screw clamps, in
the SSMR market. It is UL 467 and 2703 compliant. Its unique design virtually
eliminates the need for periodically re-torquing clamps. The A2®’s innovative
solution prevents torque back-out by employing a distinctive “push-pin” design
that locks two stainless steel pins onto the roof panel to secure the clamp. The
A2® also saves time and money where grounding cables are used, as the clamp is designed
with a grounding cable groove incorporated into the clamp itself. 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. Like the AceClamp® ML,
the A2® does not penetrate or scratch the roof’s surface, preserving
manufacturers’ warranties.
