New S-5-TH Clamp Simplifies Solar Mounting on Metal Roofs

S-5!

S-5!, the inventor of engineered metal roof attachments, introduces the S-5-TH clamp, designed to attach solar PV and light-duty rooftop accessories to T-shaped metal roof profiles. The non-penetrating, single-piece Living-Hinge design clips securely over the roof rib, delivering strong holding power while allowing roof-panel thermal cycling and preserving roof integrity. Compatible with profiles including McElroy Metal Trap Tee and Morin SymmeTry, the S-5-TH pairs easily with S-5! PVKIT rail-less systems and is also compatible with rail-based mounting. Manufactured from 6000 series aluminum and rigorously tested to industry standards, the clamp is warranted for the life of the roof. Available now from S-5! and authorized distributors.

A Stronger Ridge Vent That Goes On Fast and Stays Put

Owens Corning

Owens Corning is introducing VentSure RidgeProwler 30, a low-profile, easy-to-install rolled ridge vent built to perform year-round. Part of the Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System, it helps optimize attic airflow for a cooler, drier, well-ventilated space. Curved external baffles help block weather while maintaining strong airflow, and flat side vents reduce debris infiltration from leaves and pine needles—requiring up to 80% less cleaning than similar vents. Its narrow footprint delivers a sleek roofline with minimal visual impact. Built-in end plugs and 6-inch cut lines support precise, low-waste installs, while added strength helps prevent buckling. The 30-foot roll is nail-gun ready. Learn more at owenscorning.com.
