Our all-stainless steel mounting hardware has been giving us a competitive edge for 35 years. While other manufacturers have tried to duplicate it, they have always returned to a less-expensive plastic mounting bracket. One perceived advantage that our competitors do use against us though is that some of the plastic designs cover the mounting screw and sealant. Well soon, there will be no need to have to defend against that.

We think that we’ve come up with the best of both worlds – a plastic base and cover that incorporate our stainless steel brackets. In fact, it’s such a unique idea that we’ve applied for a patent on it.

The base of each cover is hollowed out and provides a larger area for sealant. When closed, the cover protects the sealant from the sun and elements while making for a more aesthetically pleasing installation.

The cover for the Outlet Header Bracket is also designed to accept our Aluminum Outlet Header Clamps as well.

The tooling has been ordered and we expect to begin in-house production by the end of October.
