Unpacking the Rooflight Components
Carefully lay the box
containing the rooflight
onto the floor and
open. For a slate roof
installation, remove the
foam wedge located on
the front of the flashing
plate.
With the rooflight face
down to the floor, unfold
the lead flashing along
the lower edge so that it
is flat. Located on each
of the two long sides
of the rooflight are two
metal brackets. Fold each
of these up so that they
are at a 90° angle to the
flashing plate.
Installation Instructions
1.
Roof Level Trimming Requirements
Establish the position in which the SUNPIPE is to be
installed and remove the tiles or slates from around
the area.
Form a clear trimmed
opening of 570 mm
high by 470 mm wide.
Note that the top edge
of the lower trimming
batten should be
located 90 mm from
the lower roof tiles.
3.
Locating the Rooflight on the Roof
Lift the rooflight to the
desired location on
the roof.
This should be
positioned to allow the
four metal brackets to
the inside face of the
side trusses.
The lower lead
flashing is to overlap
the roof tiles located
just below the roof
light opening.
4.
Fixing the Rooflight
Using suitable screws
(supplied by others) secure
each of the four metal
brackets to the side trusses.
Once secure, use your hand
or a rubber mallet to mold
the lead flashing plate to
match the profile of the roof
tiles.
For a slate roof, gently flatten
the lower lead flashing to the
top of the roof slates using
your hand.
