1. Slide center-flashing between collectors in collector side-wall grooves. Upper length should overlap
lower length to ensure proper rain and snow shedding (Fig. 7.2.1).
2. Fold ends of center-flashing sections down such that they are flush with collector side-wall edge.
Secure center-flashing sections to upper and lower side-walls with self-drilling screws. If leaf-guard
is to be installed, do not fold down upper center-flashing length until leaf-guard is in place (Fig.
7.2.2).
3. Secure upper center-flashing section to lower section with a self-drilling screw (Fig. 7.2.1).
TIP: If it is difficult to slide center flashing between collectors, try loosening C-channel bolts
temporarily. Be sure to re-tighten C-channel bolts after center-flashing is “started” in side-wall
grooves. It may also help to bow the center flashing sections slightly
upwards to get them “started”
in the side-wall grooves.
