Install metal roof attachment
1. Determine roof type. Inspect the structural integrity of
the roof and the durability of the roof materials.
2. Determine the number of collectors needed for the
installation and the number of required roof attachments
from Table 3B or 3C on page 11.
3. Determine collector connection points (spacing).
Measure the spacing of the rafters or trusses to confirm
the dimensions and prepare for the system layout
(reference the Roof Attachment Spacing Section on
page
12).

the metal roof attachment as shown in FIG. 3-30.

two (2) 6.5 mm holes into the top of the metal roof
attachment (see FIG. 3-31).
