MOUNTING HARDWARE
Provided in the EagleSun system, is a specially designed mounting hardware to speed collector installation. This
hardware consists of ten LOCK-TIGHT hinge sets, four roof brackets, two rear struts, and bolts (see details below).
a)
After locating the mounting points, the mounting bracket holes should be drilled.
b)
A heavy coating of sealant should be applied to the bottom of the flashing plate, which should fit flat
against the roof. It is necessary for the plate to slide under the above shingles to insure proper drainage of
water.
c)
The bottom of the roof bracket and the area around the threaded rod should also be thoroughly coated with
tar sealant. When the bracket is set in place, alignment with the collector hinges is necessary before final
tightening of the nuts. This should be completed before the sealant has time to set.
d)
The threaded rod is fastened through a 2’ x 6” wood or 2” x 2” x ¼” steel angle bracket under the roof as
shown.
e)
The rear struts should be cut to length and drilled according to the formulas detailed on the previous page.
All bolts should be tightened securely. A stainless steel washer should be placed where the threaded rod
passes through the aluminum bracket.
It is very important that the penetrations through the roof be well sealed. It should be carefully checked that all bolts
are coated with tar and that no leaks are possible. Roof flashings must be used for collector mounts and pipe
penetrations. Consult your local code office or roofing contractor for minimum required flashing thickness.

The “High-Wind” Mount Details above are intended for installations where the anticipated local wind velocities
exceed 90 MPH. For installations where wind velocities are less than 90 MPH, a Standard Mount Set will suffice.
The standard mount set only requires one Hinge Mount Clip (set) per non-tilted attachment and two when a tilt
support in employed.
