2.1.3 Metallurgical Compatibility
The metals/nishes below are considered NON-CORROSIVE when combined with mill nish or anodized aluminum:
HINT: Some examples of incompatible metals common to the trade are:
• Exposed copper wire or copper conduit in direct contact with materials such as aluminum and aluminum alloys,
galvanized steel, Galvalume
®
or other Al-Zn roong coatings.
• Graphite in direct contact with aluminum and aluminum alloys, Galvalume® or other Al-Zn roong coatings.
(Graphite is the primary material in the common pencil.)
• Galvanized steel (painted or unpainted)
• Aluminum (painted, bare or anodized)
• Stainless Steel

2.1.4 Torque
When relying upon published load values, setscrew tension should be periodically veried
using a calibrated torque wrench between 160 and 180-inch pounds (not foot pounds) (18-20
Nm) when used on 22 ga steel, or between 130 and 150-inch pounds (15-17 Nm) on 24 ga
or thinner steel and all other metals. The standing seam of a metal roof is a soft joint which
involves compressible materials and/or open space. For this reason, a dial-indicating torque
wrench is RECOMMENDED to verify full clamping force has been achieved (adjustable clicktype
torque wrenches are NOT RECOMMENDED).
Please visit our load test table at: http://www.s-5.com/clamps/index_99.cfm to determine
allowable and ultimate clamp holding strength.
