Esdec ClickFit Evo Double Folded Seam Clamp 9mm

Esdec ClickFit Evo Double Folded Seam Clamp 9 mm – Professional Non-Penetrative Mounting for Metal Roofs

Install your solar panels with total confidence on standing-seam metal roofs using the Esdec ClickFit Evo Double Folded Seam Clamp (9 mm). Specifically engineered for 9 mm double-folded seams, this precision clamp grips the seam mechanically without any drilling or roof penetration, preserving the roof’s watertight seal and manufacturer warranty. When combined with the ClickFit Evo rails, it forms a robust, compliant base for long-life solar installations that continue generating clean energy year after year.

Designed for 9 mm Double Folded Seam Profiles

Standing-seam roofs vary in geometry, and correct clamp selection is critical. This 9 mm version is tailored for traditional double-folded profiles found on aluminium, zinc and steel sheet roofs:

• Profile Match: Precisely machined for 9 mm double folds – offering exceptional grip without distorting the seam.
• Non-Penetrative Attachment: Secures to the seam with torque-controlled fasteners (see Esdec datasheet) – no drilling, no sealant, no leak risk.
• Roof Protection: Eliminates galvanic corrosion and maintains roof-system warranty by avoiding dissimilar-metal contact or structural modification.

Part of the ClickFit Evo Integrated System

Once installed, the clamp provides a direct connection point for the ClickFit Evo mounting rail, allowing the rest of the array – from module clamps to MLPE clips – to be fitted quickly and safely. The result is a lightweight yet structurally sound solar framework that meets both installer and manufacturer requirements.

Durability and Long-Term Performance

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant aluminium or stainless steel, this clamp withstands the demanding conditions typical of UK rooftops – temperature fluctuations, UV exposure and wind uplift. When tightened to the recommended torque, it provides secure load transfer across the seam without fatigue or slippage, ensuring reliable performance throughout the system’s 20-year design life.

Professional Installation Benefits

For installers, this clamp streamlines project workflows. Its compact design allows easy alignment on narrow seam pitches, while the non-penetrative mechanism eliminates time-consuming sealing work. This not only protects the roof but also reduces on-site labour and call-backs – critical advantages for commercial and industrial projects.

Why Evergy Recommends This Product

When mounting solar PV on 9 mm double-folded standing-seam roofs, this is the only Esdec-approved fixing. We recommend it because:

• Non-Penetrative Security: Protects roof integrity and manufacturer warranty.
• Precision Fit: Designed for the 9 mm double-fold profile – guaranteed compatibility.
• System Integration: Works seamlessly with all ClickFit Evo rails and components.
• Longevity & Strength: Built to withstand decades of exposure with minimal maintenance.

Plan Your Standing Seam Installation Correctly

Accurate clamp selection is essential for safety and compliance. Use the Enstall Calculator for Esdec to confirm the right clamp for your roof profile. If your roof features a different seam type, consider the Single Fold 14 mm or Round Seam 23 mm versions. Add the appropriate clamps to your basket along with your mounting rails, panel clamps and other genuine Esdec components for a complete, warranty-approved installation.
