AceClamp® A2® micro L foot

AceClamp optimizes the installation of micro-inverters to standing-seam metal roofs by creating a new micro L foot that attaches to its family of A2 clamp products. You now can install a micro-inverter onto a roof without contacting the roof itself. The micro L foot attaches directly to the clamp, guaranteeing no damage to roof panels. AceClamp's patented push-pin design will not scratch roof panels' finishes or coatings, meaning the manufacturer's warranty will not be voided. This fully assembled product is another way to get you on and off the roof faster. After all, "The Proof is on the Roof."™ For more information, contact us at (860) 351-0686 or visit www.aceclamp.com.

    A roofing contractor's commercial general liability insurance policy applies to a claim alleging defective workmanship if the claim includes property damage other than the roof but does not apply when a claim only seeks replacement or repairs to the roof.
