RibBracket Original can be used to mount almost anything onto the most common exposed-fastened, trapezoidal roof profiles (see image below) marketed in North America today. No messy sealants to apply! No chance for leaks! The RibBracket comes with a factory-applied EPDM rubber gasket seal already on the base, and the S-5!® patented reservoir conceals the EPDM from UV exposure, preventing drying and cracks. Installation is simple! The RibBracket is mounted directly onto the crown of the panel, straddling the profile. No surface preparation is necessary; simply wipe away excess oil and debris, align, and apply. Secure through the pre-punched holes using the appropriate fasteners or Bulb-tite rivets for the supporting roof material. RibBracket is the perfect match for our S-5-PV kits, or any other ancillary application, without worrying about cold bridging! RibBracket is extremely economical and facilitates quick and easy installation. The slotted top hole, which accommodates standard M8 nuts and bolts, simplifies alignment and maximizes flexibility in attaching ancillaries.
Other available RibBrackets: RibBracket I, RibBracket II, RibBracket III and RibBracket IV.
RibBracket Original can be used to mount snow retention systems such as ColorGard, as well as solar racking systems and our PV Kit 2.0 solar mounting systems (S-5-PV-Kit-2.0-EdgeGrab or S-5-PV-Kit-2.0-MidGrab), as well as just about anything else you need to mount on a metal roof. All pre-punched holes must be used to achieve tested strength.
