oops....we usually only flash non metal roofs...metal roofs we have been lucky to mostly do standing seam roofs which do not have penetrations for the attachments, we use the S5 clamps..... I just got an email from Unirac, I guess they have a a different standing seam metal clalmp than the S5, It is called Ace Clamp Jr., any one used those? I haven't seen the pricing yet on those, would be nice if they were less expensive than the S5's....They also looked easier to install... metal roof flashings--I have used the flashings with the butyl edges and caulking that are designed to be screwed thru around the perimeter. Not a glamorous flashing but has worked and is what I see used in other trades. cheers, -- Sunny Regards, Kirpal Khalsa NABCEP Certified Solar PV Installer Renewable Energy Systems www.oregonsolarworks.com 541-218-0201 m 541-592-3958 o
