Mounting hardware installation
NOTE :
The installation surface should have as little height vari-
ation as possible to ensure the proper installation of the
collectors. A surface height variation larger than ¼
˝
be-
tween each mounting point is not permitted. Stress dam-
age to installed components caused by inattention to
surface height variation is cause for a voided warranty.
!
Material losses:
Penetrating a roof with mounting hardware leaves it suc-
septible to permanent leaks if not installed properly. In-
stallers must be properly trained and certifi ed for rooftop
work.
Once the number of mounting points and their distances are deter-
mined, mount the fl ashing kit to the roof at the appropriate spacing.
Consult the installation instructions for your particular mounting kit
for more detailed mounting and fastening instructions.
6.5.1 Installation of fl ashing and mounting hardware
Mount the fl ashing or mounting hardware on the roof so that the
bolts sticking up from the roof are spaced as described in section
6.4.1 on page 5.

Repeat the mounting process for all fl ashing kits in the array. Pay
attention to vertical variation in the roof surface. A vertical variation
over
¼
˝(6mm) between the mounting points will result in improper
installation and possibly damage the collectors.
6.5.2 Installation of tilt mount racking
For a tilt mount system, consult the installation manual for the tilt
mount racking to pre-assemble the racking kits. Once assembled,
fasten the tilt mount racking to the fl ashing hardware.
Fasten the racking securely to the mounting bolts. Secure racking is
critical to a safe installation of the solar thermal array.
6.5.3 Installation of fl ush mount racking
This manual shows an extended installation procedure for this col-
lector with tilt-mount racking. Other than the elevated nature of the
install with tilt mount racking, the installation process is identical
for fl ush mount racks. For a fl ush mount rack install, observe the
spacing requirements outlined in section 6.4.2 on page 5, and
read the dedicated installation manual for fl ush mount racking.
