Two, Three and Four Panel Mounting Rails and
Tilt Kit (two collector maximum per tilt kit):
For installing two to four collectors or when two
collectors are installed on the optional tilt rack, a
special Quick Mount clip (6) is used between the
collectors to firmly hold them onto the mounting rail.
All holes are predrilled. With a tilt kit sets of 1/4"
nuts, bolts and washers are supplied as needed in
addition to lags to bolt the tilt kit together and secure
the angle brackets.
The Quick Mount clip allows mounting of two
collectors on the two panel-mounting rail or the
heavy-duty tilt rail without needing to screw a
mounting bracket tab into the side of the collector.
The U shaped clip with outward tabs that go over the
edge of the two collectors is secured with a bolt in the
center. In high wind areas, it is recommended that the
clips be Tec screwed into the frame through the
glazing with 2 screws.
Notes on Two, Three and Four Collector Flush
Mount Installations:
Place the first collector in place with mounting
bracket tabs inserted for final assembly. Tighten
down the lags. Place three Quick Mount clips in place
over their rail lag hole locations. Partially install the
lags to hold the clips loosely in place.
(you will need
an extension to your lag driver to get between the
collectors)
. Slip the next collector under the clips,
connect the compression unions (4) so alignment is
assured and then tighten down the lags. Repeat until
all collectors are installed.
Quick Connect Clips
(QCC’s) shown above
laid out as to how they
will go and individually
to the left next to the rail
with carriage bolt. It is
easiest to remove the nut
before placing the
collectors on the rails.
Being sure the trim is pushed in, secure the U
bracket at the top on both sides with 2 tec screws
going through the bracket, trim and glazing. This
makes a very strong connection.
Line up the collectors so the center union body can be
installed. Secure the nut to the outside while it is still
on the ground so it is not “lost” inside the collector.
