INSTALLING YOUR SUNGRABBER

(CONTINUED)
VERTICAL INSTALLATION ON SHINGLE ROOF [P/N 270-2, 272-2, 280-2, 280-3]
ATTENTION: HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION OF THESE MODELS IS ACCEPTABLE
1. Determine the location of your panel(s). Lay out your system
so that it declines slightly (a minimum of 1/4 inch of fall every
10 feet) toward the bottom corner of the panel that feeds from
your pool equipment. This is needed to ensure proper
drainage for winterizing.
2. Lay out all panels and connect them together using the rubber
couplers and hose clamps provided. Make sure the couplers
are pushed onto the header adapter at least an inch past the
raised barb, position the hose clamps 1/4” from the ends of
the couplers, and tighten.
3. Install the rubber cap and stainless steel clamp over the
header adapter at the bottom corner of the system that will not
have plumbing running to it. (see photo 4)
4. Install the VRV and bell reducer as shown onto the upper
most corner of the top panel that will not have plumbing
running to it. (see photo 5)
5. Install rubber couplers and clamps on the opposite corners
that will receive plumbing. Insert 1-1/2” Male Ribbed Adapters
(MRAs) with barbs into the coupler and secure with a hose
clamp. (see photo 6)
6. The three mounting straps provided should be positioned with one in the center of the panel, one 3” down from the top header and
one 5” up from the bottom header.
7. Starting with the strap at the top of the panel, mark the position of the first lag 2” off the edge of
the panel, position the strap over the mark with one inch overhanging the lag screw location.
Drill an 1/8” pilot hole, remove the strap, apply roofing mastic over the pilot hole, re-position the
strap, and screw lag screw through the strap into the roof. (see photos 2 & 7)
8. Position the panel under the strap, pull the strap tight across the panel and install the second
lag screw.
9. Continue until all the panels are installed then construct plumbing from the panels to the pool
equipment.
ATTENTION: P/N 250-1 HIGH WIND ROOF/RACK MOUNTING KITS may be purchased from your dealer and used in
high wind applications in addition to the roof/rack mounting hardware included in your system. One kit is required
for every two panels used in a system; one additional kit is required to complete the system. (Example:
A
system with (8) 2’ panels requires 5 kits)
REQUIREMENTS FOR ROOF TYPES OTHER THAN SHINGLE ROOF
Flat Tile or Barrel Tile Roofs:
Use 1-1/4” TAPCON Hex Head Screws (available at any local hardware store) in place of the provided
lag screws. This requires drilling a pilot hole with a 3/16 inch masonry drill bit in the tile before inserting the screw. Do not drill into the
substrate below the tile; doing so can promote a roof leak if not done correctly. The mounting screws should be positioned 1” to 2”
above the bottom edge of the tile. This will allow a space between the tile and the substrate due to the overlap in the tiles. On barrel tile
roofs, try to lay out the panels so that the mounting holes are on the peak or top of the barrel tile. Be sure that the tiles that the panels
are fastened to are secure. For high wind prone areas or where roof tiles are loose, consult your dealer for an alternate method.
