SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jack Adapters (Pair) – Non-Penetrating Walkboard Brackets
The SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jack Adapter is the industry-leading solution for contractors who need to install walkboards on steep standing seam metal roofs without compromising the roof’s integrity.
⚠️ ADAPTERS ONLY: Requirements for Installation
This product includes a pair of SSRA2 Roof Jack Adapters. It requires existing SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchors for mounting. If you do not yet own anchors, we highly recommend our Complete SSRA2 Roof Jack & Anchor Bundle for a turnkey solution.
Why Professional Roofers Choose SSRA2 Standing Seam Adapters
Working on a steep-pitch standing-seam roof shouldn't be a balancing act. The SSRA2 system transforms your anchors into a stable staging platform, allowing your crew to move faster and stay safer.
- Zero Roof Penetrations: Protect the building owner's warranty. The SSRA2 mounts to the SSRA1 anchor base, meaning no holes, no caulk, and no leaks.
- Universal Standing Seam Fit: Patented design fits over 500 seam profiles (95% of the market), including snap-lock, t-seams, bulb seams, trapezoidal, and mechanical seams.
- Fully Adjustable Leveling: Integrated stabilizer legs accommodate seam heights from 1" to 3", keeping your 2x10 walkboard perfectly level on steep inclines.
- Massive ROI: Why spend $2,000 on a single-use walkboard bracket? The SSRA2 offers professional stability at a fraction of the cost of traditional metal roof walkboard systems.
- USA Construction: Fabricated from 6061-T6 aluminum and stainless steel hardware for a rust-free life on the job site.
How to Install SSRA2 Adapters on Standing Seam Roofs
Follow these professional installation tips to ensure OSHA compliance and maximum platform stability:
- SSRA1 Anchor Placement: Secure two SSRA1 anchors to the seams (max 8 feet apart) and torque set-screws to 90 in/lbs.
- SSRA2 Roof Jack Adapter Mounting: Remove the SSRA1 D-rings and bolt the SSRA2 adapters directly to the anchor base using two top bolts.
- Pitch Adjustment: Loosen the side-leg adjustment bolts to level the walkboard mount. Ensure padded stabilizer feet are snug against the roof panel.
- Securing the Plank: Place your 2x10 lumber in the roof jacks and drive 2-inch #10 wood screws through the pre-drilled holes in the bracket face.

SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jack Adapter FAQ
Does this product include the standing seam anchors?
No. This kit includes one pair (2) of SSRA2 Adjustable Adapters only. You must already own or separately purchase SSRA1 Seam Anchors to use this system. Each adapter requires one anchor base for mounting.
What is the maximum weight capacity for the SSRA2 walkboard system?
The SSRA2 system is laboratory-tested to support one worker per 8-foot to 10-foot walkboard, plus approximately 40 lbs of tools/materials. It is designed for staging and convenience, not as a primary fall arrest tie-off point.
How do I adjust the adapter for different roof pitches?
The SSRA2 features a multi-position adjustable bracket that can be leveled for roof pitches ranging from 6:12 to 12:12. Simply loosen the adjustment bolts, level the bracket to a horizontal position, and retighten securely before placing your 2x10 walkboard.
Will the stabilizer legs scratch my painted metal roof?
No. The SSRA2 is engineered with padded stabilizer feet that rest against the roof panel. These feet provide necessary lateral stability and prevent the bracket from rocking while protecting the panel's finish from scratches or gouges.
Can I use these adapters on 1.5" or 2" high seams?
Yes. The side stabilizer legs are fully height-adjustable. They can be raised or lowered to accommodate common standing seam heights ranging from 1" to 3", ensuring the padded feet always maintain proper contact with the panel surface.
Is the SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jack Adapter made in the USA?
Yes. Like the SSRA1, the SSRA2 adapters are proudly manufactured in the USA from 6061-T6 aluminum. This ensures high-strength performance and strict compliance with domestic quality control standards.
How do I avoid common installation problems like over-tightening or panel damage?
To ensure a professional installation and preserve the roof warranty, follow these critical safety protocols:
- Mechanical Fastening: You must drive 2-inch #10 wood screws through the pre-drilled holes in the bracket into your 2x10 lumber. Failing to secure the plank can lead to dangerous board slippage.
- Torque Management: Never use impact drivers on the SSRA1 base anchors or the SSRA2 adjustment bolts. Over-torquing can crush the seam or damage the hardware. Use a calibrated torque wrench for the anchor base and hand-tighten the stabilizer legs until snug.
- Substrate Restrictions: Ensure you are mounting to 22 or 24-gauge steel. Soft metals like copper, aluminum, or zinc are not compatible with the SSRA base system. For soft substrates, use the Ridge Pro Steep Assist.
