Tilt Mounts (Part # 8600P-002)
The tilt mount package contains
enough hardware to secure one
collector.
Each set contains:
•
Six (6) Tilt hinges, each
with ¼” #20 stainless steel
set screws, pre-installed
•
Four (4) Triangle mounting
feet
•
Four (4) 1 ¾” x 3/8” – #16
stainless steel bolts
•
Two (2) 4” x 3/8” – #16
stainless steel bolts
•
Six (6 each) 3/8” stainless

Triangle Mounting Feet
Mount triangle feet to structure
or Uni-Strut at proper spacing
according to collector size (see
Figure 3 for spacing). The triangle
mounting feet can be fastened
to Uni-Strut or directly to the roof
using appropriate fasteners and
sealant.
Front Mounts
Fully loosen the tilt hinge set
screws. Once loosened, the tilt
hinge will engage into the Quick
Lock frame rail. Slide the flush
mount to the desired location
along the bottom side of the
collector that will meet the roof.
Tighten the screw to keep hinge
from sliding. See Figure 3 for
mounting locations.
Next, attach the triangle foot to
the tilt hinge with the 1 ¾” x 3/8”
bolt, 4” x 3/8” bolt, and 3/8” nut
and washer.
Rear Mounts
Fully loosen the tilt hinge set
screws. Slide the tilt hinges to
desired location along the top
side of the collector.
Leave a 1” space between the tilt
hinges. Tighten set screw with a
7/16” wrench to a maximum of
10 foot pounds to lock the flush
mount into position.
Position the E1022 struts between
the two tilt hinges on each side
and align the hole in the strut with
holes in the tilt hinge. Insert the 4”
x 3/8” bolt through all three pieces
and secure with a 3/8” nut and
washer.
Position the E1022 strut into the
triangle foot and align the hole
in the strut with the holes in the
triangle foot. Insert the 1 3/4” x
3/8” bolt and secure with a 3/8”
nut and washer.
Check for collector alignment and
tighten all fasteners.
