drilled holes for water-proofi ng.
7. Insert the ¼” Well nut into the drilled holes so that only the fl ange section remains
above the roof surface (Fig. 3).
8. Fasten the base support mounting rails (1, 2 of Fig.1) to the roof surface by insert-
ing the ¼ x1¼” serrated fl ange bolt into the Well-Nut. Tighten using a 3/8” wrench
