Tiled roof installation 

 

Measure the roof and estimate collector placement, mark off where the bottom of the collector will be placed, remove the tiles that fall right 
above the bottom edge of the collector and Insert 2 x S brackets so that the “hooked “ part of the “S” cups around the timber baton, place the 
two s brackets roughly 700mm to 1000mm apart, this distance will vary depending on the collector size, once a suitable distance has been 
measured replace the tiles carefully , so that the opposite “hooked” part of the “S” bracket is all that is visible, this will provide a slot for the 
bottom of the collector to be placed in. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once the bottom of the collector is secure, use the U brackets (2 of) to secure the top, locate the timber trusses on the side or on top of 
collector, insert the U bracket over collector edge and use the hanger bolt to secure the U bracket to the timber beneath the tile. Note that 
due to the varying timber structures it will not always be possible to align the u brackets to the timber structure using the top edge of the 
collector; in this instance side mounts would be acceptable, provided the mounts are placed at least three quarters of the length of the 
collector (1333mm from bottom of collector). (See below pictures for variation)
