Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with the FSXS?

The seamer with leash, packaged in an IP67-rated case with custom foam inserts. The cordless drill that powers it is sold separately.

Do I need a hand seamer to start the seam?

No. The FSXS is designed to start seaming from the beginning of the panel without a hand seamer.

Which metals can it seam?

It works with steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and zinc standing seam panels in 1 in. and 1.5 in. single or double mechanical-lock profiles.

How fast does it seam?

Up to 98 ft. per minute, roughly 1,076 sq. ft. of seaming in 7 minutes.

Are there operating cautions?

Roof panels must be dry, and correct pressure matters: too little pressure can prevent feeding and excessive pressure can deform the finished seam.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, Malco backs it with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Product Expert Notes

Set the seaming pressure before each run: under-pressure stalls the feed and over-pressure distorts the seam, so test on a scrap panel or an inconspicuous stretch first. Keep panels dry and let the drill do the work at a steady walking pace up the roof. Choose the FSXS for 1-1.5 in. mechanical-lock profiles; for 2 in. seams you need the larger Malco model.

Seaming on roofs carries fall hazards: use appropriate fall protection, keep the leash attached during standing operation, and keep hands clear of the seaming rollers while the drill is engaged.

Add the Malco FSXS Power-Assisted Standing Seam Seamer to your kit and turn your cordless drill into the fastest seamer on the roof.
