Step 8 - Fixing the Collector to the roof
• Starting from the top of the system and working down the roof, apply at the top and bottom of the Collector a
generous 50mm long bead of TREMsil Silicone (translucent or black) directly to the roofs surface
• A generous bead of TREMsil silicone will be sufficient for most average installations to adhere the Collector
strips for the life of the system provided the two surfaces are clean and dry
• The beads of TREMsil should be no more than 600mm laterally apart for most average installations
• Push the strips down firmly; ensuring ample surface contact between the two surfaces has been achieved
• Repeat the process working down the roof until all collectors have been installed
• Ensure the collector is installed in a relaxed state such that the collector is not applying tension onto the
manifold system
• The reason for installing and adhering the collector from the top of the system and working down the roof
is to allow the installer the ability to easily reach over the previously laid collector and apply the TREMsil
adhesive from below without the need to stand or kneel on the collector or excessively lean over the laid
collector
