alternate installation brackets
Geyser Brackets
a)
Description: Profiled aluminium plating providing a solid footing
distributing the weight of the unit over the roof covering. Positioning of
bolts on brackets are off centre in order to allow the foot plate of the
geyser to rest squarely in the centre of the bracket once installed.
Easy to use wing nuts are supplied to minimise effort on installation.
The foot plate of the geyser has to be fitted to the geyser
before the
bracket is fitted onto the foot plate.
b)
Once the roof covering is moved away, the stainless steel strapping
attached to the bracket is then wrapped around timber roof structure
for anchoring the bracket. Be sure to secure the strapping onto the
timber using tech screws or similar. Roof covering is then placed back
into original position.
c)
The bracket is placed underneath the geyser foot plate with the bolt
sliding through the slotted hole and tightened using the wing nut as
supplied.
d)
Note the correct use of “left hand” and “right hand” bracket.
Attached strapping is then tightened onto the timber structure in the
same way as above.
NovaSun tanks
are equipped with extra anchor points on the
tank in order for the tank to be installed on an angle of 31° if
so required on pitch roofs.
Panel Bracket
a)
Description: Holding bracket attached to stainless steel strapping
.
b)
The holding bracket is positioned underneath the panel in order to
hook onto the bottom lip of the panel. The stainless steel strapping is
then fastened onto the roof structure in the same way as the strapping
of the tank.
The holding brackets should be placed in position first and properly
fastened to the roof structure using tech screws or similar. The roof
covering can then be placed back into position and the panel positioned
and secured into the holding bracket.
