Still Mounting Rooftop Ancillaries With Wood Blocking or Concrete Blocks for Ballast?
Still Mounting Rooftop Ancillaries With Wood Blocking or Concrete Blocks for Ballast?
Common methods of securing rooftop utilities, such as satellite dishes and HVAC units, include wood or steel blocking and/or concrete blocks (for ballast) to secure equipment to the roof. These methods cause corrosive effects and other issues on metal roofs, compromising both the equipment as well as the integrity of the roof itself. With the Universal GRIPPERFIX System, you can achieve a secure and dependable attachment, while preserving the integrity of your metal roof – and for lower costs than all the “wrong ways”!usechatgpt init success

Condensor Rooftop Mounting

Satellite Dish Rooftop Mounting

Pipes/Conduit Rooftop Mounting

Condensor Rooftop Mounting
Condensing-type units don’t always need to duct through the roof. Sometimes they simply need a place to sit. How do you mount it so that the panels are unharmed, and anchor it so that it doesn’t move? GRIPPERFIX it in 7 minutes!
Satellite Dish Roof Top Mounting
Corrosion resulting from pooling water, leaching concrete (causing rust) and rotting timber are all prime reasons to use a non-damaging rooftop mount.


Pipes/Conduit Roof Top Mounting
Eliminate unsightly and corrosive wood blocking when mounting the following: gas piping, electrical conduit and condensate lines.
