Mounting collectors on a tile roof
the rinnai standard mounting rails are for arrangements where the hot outlet connection is
on the top right hand corner. If you have an arrangement that requires a top left hot outlet
connection you will need a different top mounting rail. this can be purchased as an accessory
from rinnai.
G12 requires stainless steel straps for tile roofs. the Split System Solar Fittings Kits have
galvanised straps as standard. If collectors are being installed on a tile roof, stainless steel
straps can be purchased as an accessory item.
Determine
position for top
mounting rail
the assembled collectors should cross as many rafters as possible and be
evenly distributed across them.
the top rail should be approximately in the middle of a line of tiles. Mark
a horizontal line at the determined position.
Measure down the roof from the top line for the respective collector.
Check that the lower line does not coincide with an edge of tiles. If
necessary adjust the position of the upper line slightly to prevent this
happening.
the procedure is the same as for the metal roof with the exception that
the top mounting rail is also fastened using straps. additionally there
should be no need to use spacers to prevent the rails touching the tile
roofing.
