TILT LEG INSTALLATION
Note:
Screws supplied with the tilt legs are wood screws suitable for timber only. Screws used in metal
purlins must be suitable for metal structures and have a TPI (threads per inch) of 14.
1. Determine and mark position of feet according
to your plans. Pre drill through roof cladding
(on top of crest) at planned locations. Place
the supplied rubber gaskets under each foot
and ensure that a weatherproof seal is made
between the foot and the roof cladding.
2. Fix the foot to the timber batter or rafter using
a minimum of two M6 X 80 mm screws.
Ensure a minimum screw embedment of
35 mm for timber battens and 50 mm for
rafters.
If the interface is being fixed to metal purlins
use screws suitable for metal structures with a
TPI of 14.
Check the foot to ensure that the fastening
screws tightly fix the sealing gaskets without
damaging roof cladding.
