The following guidelines apply
The CrossRail System can be installed as standard under the following conditions. Even if the system is capable
of meeting higher demands through the integration of safety standards, please get in touch with your contact at
K2 Systems if the specified values are exceeded.
Roof Requirements
T
The sufficient holding force of the roof
covering at the support or substructure must
be ensured on site.
T
Roof pitch: 5 - 75°
T
For low slope roofs, make sure there is positive
drainage and roofing is compatible with butyl.
Structural Requirements
The static verification of the component is auto-
matically calculated with the K2 Base planning
software for the respective location. The design
provided in a project report must be followed.
Ensuring that the roof, its rafters, connections,
and other structural support members can
support the array under all code level loading
conditions.
Important Mounting
Instructions
T
Maintaining the waterproof integrity of the
roof. To maintain the flashing performance,
avoid installation when the temperature of the
roof and butyl are below 22F or above 176F. K2
EverSeal must be installed on a dry surface.
T
K2 Systems recommends a thermal
splice every 14 Ft., however, it must be
determined by the installer based on the
rail system installation instructions. The
installer must also determine the maximum
allowed span and cantilever design
parameters recommended by the rail system
manufacturer. The Splice Foot X/XL can be
installed on steep slope roofs (composite
shingles). The K2 EverSeal is also compatible
with felt and synthetic underlayments.
Moisture Content
T
The K2 EverSeal is to be installed on dry
mounting surfaces.
T
Determining how wet is too wet: First, remove
the paper backing from a Splice Foot X/XL
exposing the clean butyl. Second, press the
base, K2 EverSeal side down against the
surface. Third, pick up the base. If the base
adheres to the roof, the roof is suitably dry for
installation.
T
A heat gun, roof dryer, calcium chloride or
alcohol is suitable to remove ice from the roof
surface.
Periodical Inspection
T
K2 recommends inspecting installed racking
system periodically for loose components,
loose fasteners and any corrosion. If found,
those components are to be retightened, or
replaced immediately.
T
When a PV module needs to be removed
from the PV array for maintenance and/or
replacement, the electric bonding system
may need to be temporarily restored to
maintain the electrical bonding path. Please
make sure the system electrical circuits and
disconnects are in the open position and the
entire system is powered down. Cover the
fronts of modules in the array with an opaque
material to stop the production of electricity.
Use appropriate safety equipment such
as insulated tools and insulating gloves to
protect yourself.
