About this product
The AceClamp A2N is a non-penetrating seam clamp for nail-down (nail-base) and taller snap-lock standing seam panels, used by roofers and snow retention and solar installers to mount hardware on the seam without putting a hole in the roof. It is AceClamp’s larger version of the A2, made for seams in the 1.5″ to 1.75″ range.
Like the rest of the line, it is aircraft-quality aluminum with stainless-steel hardware, comes fully assembled and uses a push-pin closure instead of set screws, so tightening does not grind on the paint. The A2N (part 5056-N) measures about 1.25″ x 1.50″ x 2.27″ and tightens with a 9/16″ hex-head bolt to AceClamp’s torque values: 195 in-lbs on steel and 165 in-lbs on aluminum. The 3/8-16 tapped top hole is pre-drilled for color-strip or rail-type snow retention and takes one-, two- or three-hole brackets, and AceClamp also lists it for its Solar Kit or an L-Foot. In AceClamp’s published third-party testing, it held 1,200 lbs perpendicular to the seam on a 24 gauge Berridge Cee Lock panel.
Choose the A2 for single-lock, double-lock and standard snap-lock seams, the A2Nw for short 3/4″ to 1″ snap-lock seams, and the ML for bulb, T-panel and zip-rib profiles. AceClamp clamps are not fall-protection anchors.
Most A2N orders are paired with the Snow Guard in this catalog.

Questions
Can it hold solar mounts?
Yes. AceClamp lists the A2N for its Solar Kit or an L-Foot, as well as snow retention.
How do I know it fits my panel?
