Flush Mounting Hardware and Installation
The fl ush mount installation hardware is specially designed to speed
collector installation. This hardware consists of two Quick-Lock col-
lector clamps with locking screws for the front hinge, two Quick-Lock
collector clamps for the rear hinge, four triangle brackets (collector
feet), bolts, nuts and washers.
(See page 36).
After installing the base plate and fl ashing, install the triangle brackets
on top of the fl ashing using the neoprene-bonded washer and stain-
less locking nut.
Next attach two Quick-Lock collector clamps with locking screws to
bottom of the collector. Keep the locking screws loose. Secure the
bottom Quick-Lock clamps on the collector and drop the clamp into
the triangle bracket using the bolt, washer, and nut provided. Tighten
locking screws after collector is set at position of location on the
triangle brackets. See diagram 1.
Attach the two upper Quick-Lock collector clamps to the collector
along with the two triangle brackets and roof mounting base plates.
Do not overtighten bolts.
Place the top of the collector down on the roof with the base plate
positioned over a rafter.
Blocks, installed in the attic, may have to be
positioned between the rafters to make sure the base plate has a
structural member to screw into.
Draw the base plate layout onto the roof on the shingle.
Unbolt the base plate from the triangle bracket, and the triangle
bracket from the Quick-Lock.
Screw the baseplate onto it’s template on the shingle.
Install the base plate with the square drive screws. Mark the screw
locations and
apply polyurethane sealant at the penetrations.
The baseplate must be securely attached atop the roof and into the
roofs structural member.
Install fl ashing by sliding it into place under then next row of shingles.
Cover the base plate with the fl ashing pocket .
Install the collector foot as shown below using neoprene-bonded
washer and stainless locking nut.
Attach the two Quick-Locks to the collector and bolt them into the
installed collector feet. Diagram 1.
Tighten all the nuts and bolts at the front and rear collector hinges.
