Roof Attachment Installation

(continued)

Install flange plate shingle (standard)

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).

4. Caulk (field supplied) around the perimeter of the flange

plate (FIG. 3-22).

5. Using the flange plate as a template, place the flange plate

on the roof and drill four (4) 6 mm holes as shown in

FIG. 3-23. Install the larger screws provided in the kit

into the 6mm holes securing the flange plate to the roof

(caulk around screws before tightening).

6. Install the four (4) remaining smaller screws in the

perimeter of the flange plate as shown in FIG. 3-23 (caulk

around screws before tightening).

7. Cover flange plate with roofing material, sealing it to the

roof (FIG. 3-24).
