Installation with CLIPFIX

2.1

Static

There are many factors influencing a secure
and durable installation of RHEINZINK
standing seam roofs. Apart from choosing
the most suitable substructure the choice of
the single components of the roofing system
is most important. All measures and functions
of the different parts should fit perfectly.
The newly developed clips made of stainless
steel, the RHEINZINK-CLIPFIX FEIN ASCT
14U (automatic screwdriver) and the CLIP-
FIX-Single and Collated Screws meet highest
safety demands.
In wind tunnel studies we tested our RHEIN-
ZINK-Standing Seam System simulating a
wind load over 50 years in combination
with these system elements. At the same time
we simulated a 20-year period in which the
movement of the sliding clips and their be-
havior was examined. The result marks the
beginning of a new era in the installation of
standing seam roofs. The permissible design
load of 600 Newton considerably exceeds
that load of traditional clips. You will work
more economically as processing (screwing
instead of nailing) requires less time due to
greater distances between the clips.
We offer a standard clip with a suitable
height for the installation of RHEINZINK-
Standing Seam Panels either on a (natural)

roof boarding or on suitable wood-based
panels like plywood or oriented strand
boards (OSB). If building physics make the
installation of the structured underlay AIR-Z
or VAPOZINC inevitable, a higher clip is
available. While the standard clips are la-
beled with ST, the higher clips are marked
with H.
You should consult an architect/planner or
a structural engineer for calculating the wind
loads for your construction project. These data
make it easy to determine the number of clips
needed per square metre. You will find the
corresponding measurement tables on our
homepage (www.rheinzink.de/products) un-
der the category double standing seam/an-
gled standing seam. Please make use of our
declaration of conformity for your project for
documenting the wind loads and the number
of installed fixing clips.

Information: Assembly of Snow Guard
Systems and Clamps
Snow guard clamps, as well as the RHEIN-
ZINK-Clamp S5 should be mounted in a dis-
tance of at least 25 mm to the next clip to
ensure that the sliding function and the ex-
pansion behaviour of the RHEINZINK roof-
ing still works.
