The correct pipe (to be provided by customer) is as follows:

UTRK-040

Schedule 40 – 3” nominal

Heavier steel pipe (sch 80 or sch 120) can be used as long as outer diameter is 3-1/2”.

Using the chart provided below, find the 

MINIMUM

 acceptable pole height above your 

finished grade. The suggested pole heights will provide approximately 3' of ground 
clearance with the largest module arrays installed. It is strongly recommended that the 
pole height meet our minimum specifications.

The 

MINIMUM

 recommended hole depth is 1/3 the total length of the pole – 1/3 in the 

ground, 2/3 above the ground. 

For example: 10' above grade, 5' below grade – 15' total length.

Center pipe in hole, use a level or plumb line to insure pipe is vertical.

Fill the hole with concrete (3000 psi minimum strength), and recheck verticality.

The pipe may be filled with concrete for added strength (only to approximate ground 
level)

Allow concrete and pipe to set for a 

MINIMUM

 of 36 hours before installing Track 

Rack™

Extruded Mounting Rail 

Description: The Zomeworks Extruded Rail is 
designed to be mounted to structural components 
using 3/8” round-head, square-neck bolts. The edges 
of the extrusion are different, one side has a slot to 
accommodate standard 1/4” hex bolts and the other 
5/16” hex bolts (see diagram at right). When 
assembling the rack pay attention to this orientation!
