structural members of the roof with the stainless steel hardware
provided. The solar collector must be attached to the mounting
hardware as detailed in Figure 6.
Preserving the integrity of the roof membrane is the
most important roofing consideration. Ensure that all roof
penetrations required to plumb and mount the solar collector
are properly flashed and sealed in accordance with standard
roofing practices.
If the region is subject to hurricane conditions, additional
steps may be required to secure the collector and mounting
hardware to the structural members. In certain areas of the
country, local building codes may require collector wind load
testing or prescribe specific mounting procedures. Consult
your local building department.
Install the collectors as described in the Corrugated Metal
Roof Mounting instructions.
