AceClamp ML receives
FM Approvals certifi cation PMC Industries’ AceClamp ML has received FM Approvals certifi cation for product confor- mance to the highest national and interna- tional standards. FM Approvals, part of FM Global, is a leader in the certifi cation and approval of roofi ng products and roof assemblies based on performance testing of completed as- semblies when subjected to multiple perils such as wind-uplift. The AceClamp ML is a standing seam metal
roof (SSMR) clamp system that can accommodate almost any application or roof seam design. AceC- lamp ML’s two-piece design allows installation at any point on the seam with one of the tightest vibration tested grips in the industry, while not puncturing or scratching the roof’s surface. Designed especially with the contractor in
mind, the pre-assembled AceClamp ML is the easiest, quickest and safest way to install attach- ment clamps on standing seam metal roofs. The patented clamp is engineered with one top mount- ing screw, completing installation in less than half the time of conventional side-mounting systems.
