2.4 Installation of the collectors and the flashings
Mark the left and the right edge of the collector field on the battens.
Depending on the distance of the battens an auxiliary batten must be
installed to support the
lower flashings.
Lower flashings incl. flexible gasket strip
are installed from the left to the
right and should protrude the collector field on both sides by about 32-35
cm. The lower flashings should be put with the folded edge on the upper
edge of the main batten.
Position the hanger support brackets (distance between the hanger support
brackets of ca. 80 cm) und pre-drill the lower flashing.
Screw the hanger support brackets and the lower flashings to the batten (3
wooden screws 5x35 mm).
Install further
lower flashings
overlapping and as previously mentioned.
Adjust the
flexible gasket strip
by hand or with the hammer shaft to the
tiles. Depending on the type of tiles, adjust the tile carefully by using an
angle grinder or a hammer.
Lower the collectors on the hanger brackets (Pos. 8), center them and
tighten the parallel compression fitting between the collectors.
