Tiled roofing
For tiled roofs, install the kitset collector fixings. This kitset consists of 4 lengths of predrilled
galvanised strap, 2 lengths of channel, 4 angle brackets and various fixings.
The 4 angle brackets are secured in to the channel and temporarily bolted in to the top and bottom
of the collector. The collector is then sited in the required location and the positions of the channel
marked out on the roof. The collector is then unbolted from the angle brackets. The channels are
laid horizontally across the roof in the required location. The straps are bolted on the channel and
fed under the tiles, being formed into the required shape as required to prevent any conflict with the
weather proofing of the roof or tile pitch. The straps are then coach screwed in to the battens,
twisted and coach bolted in to the trusses.
The collector is then bolted on to the angle brackets using M8 bolts. Rubber separators are to be
installed between the angle brackets and the solar collector. See Figure 15 below.
