VersaBracket-47™ by S-5! is a stronger, more versatile, and lower cost bracket option that can be used to mount virtually anything to a face-fastened roof system and is compatible with almost any trapezoidal, face-fastened profile. The patent-protected, encapsulated butyl sealant design virtually eliminates the possibility of leaks and corrosion. No messy sealants to apply! Extensive load testing research confirmed VersaBracket-47™ load strength to 1283 pounds ultimate—an increase of 863 pounds over previous solutions when tested on standard 16 gauge purlins. The impressive holding strength makes it a much more cost-effective solution because users do not need to install as many to withstand design loads.
The VersaBracket-47™ can also be ordered with custom attachment holes for specific applications. VersaBracket-47™ is so strong, it will even support heavy-duty applications like snow retention and solar panel installations. The VersaBracket-47™ is the perfect match for our ColorGard® or RamGard™ snow retention systems (For corrugated roofs use CorruBracket™). VersaBracket-47™ is extremely economical and facilitates quick and easy installation.

S-5! is supporting the University of Illinois in the 2009 Solar Decathlon, a competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. The Solar Decathlon joins 20 college and university teams in a competition to design, build and operate the most attractive and energy-efficient solar-powered house. The University of Illinois is building Gable Home with the help of a donation of S-5-PV Kits which are being used to attach solar panels to the standing seam metal roof. See www.solardecathlon.uiuc.edu for updates on this project.
