Clamps are positioned along the string line.
|
Position the clamps appropriately on the panel seam, using the string line as a guide.
An Allen-wrench attachment tip is included in your purchase.
|
Using the Allen-wrench attachment tip for 1/4" screwgun (included in the box), tighten and retighten setscrews as the seam material compresses. On low seam profiles, clamp spacing should never exceed 32".
Angle drivers are available through your S-5!™ distributor.
|
We recommend using the Angle Driver (available at your S-5!® distributor) to facilitate easy installation and avoid damage to the panel.
Do not be concerned if after installation the clamp appears slightly "cocked" on the panel seam. It will straighten out when ColorGard® is installed.
The holding strength of S-5!® clamps is highly dependent upon setscrew tension. Consult the S-5!® Load Tables by clicking here
For maximum holding strength, setscrews should be tensioned and re-tensioned as the seam material compresses. Clamp setscrew tension should be verified using a calibrated torque wrench between 160 and 180 inch pounds when used on a 22-gauge steel, and between 130 and 150 inch pounds for all other metals and thinner gauges of steel. Published data regarding holding strength is available for viewing here.
Battery operated guns may not deliver consistent screw tension.
Drywall guns may not deliver adequate tension.
