7.1 Side-Flashing for 1-Collector Appliances
7.2 Center-Flashing for 2-, 3- and 4-Collector Appliances
One-collector Appliance includes side-flashing that must be installed to cover connections, insulated
line-set, thermistor and control wires, and roof-penetration. Side-flashing may be installed on left or
right of collector but must cover connections and roof penetration. Side-flashing includes two thin
lengths of painted, galvanized steel with 90° bends and two end-caps for top and bottom (Fig. 7.1).
Two sets of side-flashing may be installed to make installation symmetrical. Side-flashing may also be
used on multi-collector installations to hide C-channel.
1. Insert edge of side-flashing piece in collector side-wall groove. Align bottom edge of flashing with
bottom of collector. Secure lower side-flashing to roof with included roofing screws.
2. Insert edge of upper side-flashing into side-wall groove such that it overlaps lower section (for
shedding rain and snow ). Secure upper side-flashing to roof with included roofing screws.
3. Insert rectangular caps into upper and lower holes created by side-flashing and collector
(Fig. 7.1.1). Secure to roof with included roofing screws. Secure to upper and lower side-flashing
with included self-drilling screws.
4. Secure upper side-flashing section to lower section at overlap with included self-drilling screws.
Two-, three- and four-collector Appliances include one, two or three sets of center-flashing. Center-
flashing should cover insulated line-set, collector connections, thermistor and control wires and roof
penetration. Center-flashing is two thin lengths of painted, galvanized steel that slide between
collectors. Side-flashing may also be used on multi-collector installations to hide C-channel.
