L-Brackets
L-brackets (Fig. 6.1.12) are used primarily on wood or steel racks that are fabricated to fit collector
dimensions and bracket spacing (Fig. 6.1.13). Racks without C-channel must be designed specifically
to match spacing of the L-brackets. For pitched roof applications use C-channel hook brackets.
Before proceeding with installation of the EnerWorks Solar Collectors, make note o f t h e i r s e r i a l
numbers on the Product & Installation Registration Form included with the Owner Manual and in
the Appendices. Serial numbers are required for warranty service and are difficult to access once
collectors are installed.
Lifting of collectors requires planning for safety. Collectors are heavy (110 lb, 50 kg) and awkward to
maneuver. Different methods are available depending on budget, roof access and number of
collectors. A lifting loop is incorporated into upper collector hook-bracket to attach carabiners and lift
lines (Fig. 6.2.1).
