INSTALLING YOUR SUNGRABBER

TM

(CONTINUED) 

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION ON SHINGLE ROOF  [P/N’S 260-1, 260-2, 260-5, 260-6]

CAUTION:  VERTICAL INSTALLATION OF THESE MODELS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY 

1.  Determine the location of your panel(s).  Lay out your 

system so that it declines slightly (a minimum of  1/4 inch of 
fall every 10 feet) toward the bottom corner of the panel that 
feeds from your pool equipment.  This is needed to ensure 
proper drainage during daily use and for winterizing. 

2.  The three mounting straps provided should be positioned 

with one in the center of the panel, and one 5” in from each 
header.  Mark the bottom row lag screw locations.  Position 
the first strap with 10” of under-hang below the lag screw 
location, drill an 1/8” pilot hole, remove strap, apply adhesive 
to the pilot hole, re-position the strap, and screw the lag 
screw through the strap into the roof.  Install remaining two 
straps the same way.  In Step 8, you will use the 10” 
underhang strapping and the same lag screw to secure 
supply piping. (see photos 2) 

3.  If this is a multiple panel system, connect all the panels 

using the rubber couplers and hose clamps provided with 
your system.  Make sure each coupler is pushed on at least 
an inch past the raised ribs of the header adapters.  Position hose clamps 1/4” from the end of the couplers and tighten. (see 
photo 3) 

4.  Install the rubber cap and stainless steel clamp over the header adapter at the bottom corner of the system that will not have 

plumbing running to it. (see photo 4) 

5.  Install the VRV and bell reducer as shown onto the upper most corner of the top panel that will 

not have plumbing running to it. (see photo 5) 

6.  Install rubber couplers and clamps on the opposite corners that will receive plumbing.  Insert 1-

1/2” Male Ribbed Adapters (MRAs) with barbs into the coupler and secure with a hose clamp. 
(see photo 6) 

7.  Follow Steps 1 and 2 for mounting remaining straps. 

8.  Construct plumbing as shown.  Use extra strapping at the bottom to hold supply piping.  
        (see photos 8) 

ATTENTION:  P/N 250-1 HIGH WIND ROOF/RACK MOUNTING KITS may be purchased from your 
dealer and used in high wind applications in addition to the roof/rack mounting hardware 
included in your system.  One kit is required for every two panels used in a system; one 
additional kit is required to complete the system.  (Example: A system with (8) 2’ panels requires     

 5 

kits)
