Design Tools

- SnapNrack has a suite of design tools 

to help configure your PV installation to 

be an accurate and fast install.  Please 

visit us at: www.SnapNrack.com.

Warning

- If a pilot hole is drilled and a rafter is not 

found, immediately seal pilot hole with 

roofing sealant to avoid water damage.

- Do not over tighten hardware.

- Always wear fall protection 

and safety gear.

 

Notes

- SnapNrack engineered systems should 

only be used with SnapNrack components 

and hardware.  Any alternate application 

may void the warranty and structural 

calculations could become invalid.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1) Locate the rafter underneath the 

decking of the roof by tapping the 

roof surface with a hammer.

2) Drill a pilot hole through the roofing 

material into the rafter to ensure that 

the lag bolt will be located into a solid 

portion of the rafter.  If the rafter is 

not found then seal the pilot hole 

immediately with roofing sealant.

3) Apply roofing sealant to the bottom 

of the base and directly onto the pilot 

hole to ensure a water tight seal.

4) Attach the standoff base with 

a 5/16” lag bolt and a minimum 

embedment of 2 ½” lag shank into the 

rafter.  Tighten Lag bolt to seat.

5) Next attach the standoff to the base 

and set the cone flashing by sliding it over 

the standoff and directly applying it to the 

roof surface.  Use all necessary sealants 

and attachment methods for flashing.

6) Attach the standoff clamp by sliding 

it over the standoff shaft.  Adjust it 

to the desired height and tighten 

Silver hardware to 10-16 ft-lbs and 

black hardware to 8-10 ft-lbs.

7) Attach the scrap rail and modules 

then tighten Silver hardware to 10-

16 ft-lbs and black hardware to 

8-10 ft-lbs. Remove tilt tool.

8) Use the SnapNrack tilt tool to 

support the top rail in place (see 

page 43 for instructions.)
