VersaGard™ - Mount Solar Without an L-Foot

VersaGard™ is compatible with most trapezoidal, exposed-fastened roof profiles and features factory-applied butyl sealant to prevent leaks without messy applications. It mounts directly into the roof’s supporting structure—wood decking, purlins, or trusses—without surface prep. The bracket supports 1″ pipes and has a diagonal slot for flexible PV installation. VersaGard can be used for snow retention, reducing avalanche risks, or as an alternative to L-foot mounts for solar panels, working with most racking systems.

Features & Benefits

Use in lieu of an L-Foot
Use with any side-mount rail system
Install either parallel or perpendicular to slope
Diagonal “slot” provides 1-¾” (45 mm) of height adjustability via the use of 3/8″ (9.5 mm), M8 or M10 bolts
Integral reservoir prevents over- compression and preserves butyl seal by preventing UV exposure
Up to six points of attachment
Must attach to deck or structure (i.e., wood decking, wood or steel purlins, or trusses)
Select the appropriate S-5! fastener (sold separately) for steel or wood attachments

CanDuit™ - Attach Pipes & Other Round Objects

CanDuit is the ideal solution for securing and supporting piping, conduit, condensate lines, and other round shapes on metal roofs while preventing damage.
