What are the differences between the S-5-K Grip & S-5-KHD clamps?

S-5 K Grip clamp installed on a KlipLok metal roofThe Klip-Rib (or KlipLok) style panel is a popular panel in some areas of the world and also goes by many other tradenames. It is the commercial roof standard in Asia-Pacific and South Africa. Because of the width of the hollow panel rib, ensuring a strong, non-penetrating attachment is a bit of a challenge. In response to this, S-5! offers the S-5-K Grip and S-5-KHD clamps.
