4. Install MidGrab/StandOff Assembly & PV Disk onto clamps. The PV Disk and
MidGrab/StandOff Assembly should be mounted to the clamps before mounting
the clamps to the roof. Place the PV Disk atop the clamp and thread the male
portion of the StandOff through the disk and into the clamp. Drive the MidGrab/
StandOff Assembly down with the same bit tip (Fig 4) as was done in STEP
2. Note: When using the S-5-H90 or S-5-K Grip style clamps, the clamp must
be secured to the roof prior to xing the S-5-PVKIT 2.0 EdgeGrab or MidGrab
assembly to clamps. (See: Tips for Mounting with S-5-H90, or S-5 K Grip Style
Clamps at the end of this section).
5. Place MidGrab/StandOff/Disk & Clamp Assemblies: Using the PV module as
a guide, place the throat of the clamp over the seam and slide the assembly
into place so that the edge of the module is seated against the wall of the
MidGrab and the Module Placement Bevel Guide, similar to (Fig 3b). Tighten
the setscrew(s) of the clamp as described in STEP 1. The grabs should be left
in the partially open position to accommodate the next row of modules before
nal tightening occurs.
6. Install Additional PV Modules-repeating STEPS 3-5: Place another module in
the MidGrabs that were left open in the previous step. Tighten the downslope
row of grabs each time a module is placed and leave the upslope open until
the next module is placed (Fig. 6). The nal row will be nished with EdgeGrab/
StandOff Assemblies. Periodically look back at the modules you have already
installed to double check that all MidGrabs were tightened.
Tips for Mounting with S-5-H90/H90 Mini, S-5-K Grip/K Grip Mini:
When mounting with any S-5! CorruBracket, S-5-H90, S-5-K Grip style clamps,
STEPS 4/5 will vary slightly. The fasteners for clamp or bracket to the roof must be
installed before the PV Disk is mounted atop the clamp/bracket. The module can still
be used as a spacer to place the clamps/brackets. Prepare a clamp or bracket with
the full MidGrab/StandOff Assembly & PV Disk mounted atop it. Place this assembly
so that the inside of the MidGrab and the Module Placement Bevel Guide on the PV
Disk rest against the edge of the module seating it in place as described in STEP
5 and as shown in Fig 3b. Use a marker (but do not use a graphite pencil) to mark
the location of the clamp or bracket on the roof. (See the ‘HINT’ breakout in 2.1.3
Metallurgical Compatibility for further discussion). Now remove the pre-assembled
clamp/bracket and PVKIT 2.0 and mount a clamp or bracket without the PVKIT,
on the mark you made. After fastening the clamp or bracket in place, the MidGrab
StandOff Assembly & PV Disk can be mounted atop it. The slotted hole atop the
bracket allows the kit to be slid out of the way as the module is placed, then pushed
into place against the edge of the module and tightened.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT
To remove, reverse the installation instructions found in Section 1.5.
The Stand-off has a attened area for a wrench to t to assist with removal.
When re-installing, it is advised to use all new parts.
This is especially true for the mounting disk (due to the integrated grounding), and the clamp if it has been removed from
the seam.
