GSE Clamp Wedges Twin Pack ( 2x Left / 2x Right )

GSE Structural Plastic Wedge Reinforcement Block - Twin Pack

The GSE ART105876 Structural Plastic Wedge Reinforcement Blocks are designed for use on mounting trays at either end of a solar array. At these edge points, where there is no overlapping of trays and only a single thickness of plastic to drill fixings through, these blocks sit underneath the tray to provide an additional layer that improves structural soundness and strength for secure end-of-array installations.

Key Technical Details

• Part No: GSE-WEDGES-TWINPACK
• Supplier Part No: ART105876
• Old codes: ART100212 and ART101501
• Items per pack: 4 wedges (2 left, 2 right OR 2 large, 2 small squares)
• Weight: 0.02 kg per pack
• Material: High-quality structural plastic
• Configuration: Supplied as mixed pack - half larger squares, half smaller squares

Key Features

• Plastic edge wedge reinforcement blocks for end-of-array structural support
• Designed specifically for trays at either end of an array
• Provides additional layer underneath tray where only single thickness exists
• Improves structural soundness and strength at critical edge points
• Durable plastic construction built to last and withstand heavy use
• Lightweight at 0.02 kg per pack for easy handling
• Supplied as twin pack with mixed sizes for versatile application
• Essential component for secure end-of-array installations

Product Description

• Reinforcement blocks for GSE In-Roof System mounting trays
• Addresses structural weakness at array edges where trays don't overlap
• At end points, only single thickness of plastic available for drilling fixings
• Blocks sit underneath tray to provide additional material layer
• Significantly improves structural integrity at fixing points
• Prevents stress concentration and potential failure at edge fixings
• Easy to position and install during tray mounting
• Critical for maintaining system strength and longevity

Supply Configuration

• Always supplied as mixed pack: half larger squares, half smaller squares
• This matches GSE's supply configuration from manufacturer
• Example: Order of 6 blocks provides 3 large and 3 small squares
• Example: Order of 4 blocks provides 2 large and 2 small squares
• Twin pack contains 4 wedges total
• Mix of sizes accommodates different reinforcement requirements
• Enables optimal placement based on specific fixing positions

Installation Notes

• Use at either end of solar array on edge trays
• Position underneath tray at fixing points
• Install before drilling fixings through tray
• Ensures drilling goes through reinforced double-thickness material
• Select appropriate size (large or small) based on fixing location
• Easy to position and adjust during installation
• Multiple blocks typically required per end-of-array tray
• Critical for maintaining structural integrity at array edges

Why Reinforcement is Needed

• Middle trays overlap, providing double-thickness plastic at fixings
• End trays have no overlap - only single thickness available
• Single thickness creates potential weak point for fixing loads
• Reinforcement blocks restore double-thickness at critical points
• Prevents stress concentration that could lead to cracking
• Ensures uniform strength across entire array mounting system
• Essential for long-term structural reliability

Applications

• End-of-array tray reinforcement in portrait orientation
• End-of-array tray reinforcement in landscape orientation
• GSE roof integrated solar PV installations
• Residential in-roof solar projects
• Commercial in-roof solar projects
• Any installation where trays terminate without overlap
• Critical fixing points requiring additional structural support
