INSTALLING YOUR SUNGRABBER

TM

(CONTINUED) 

VERTICAL INSTALLATION ON SHINGLE ROOF  [P/N 270-2, 272-2, 280-2, 280-3]

ATTENTION:  HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION OF THESE MODELS IS ACCEPTABLE 

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 for winterizing. 

2.  Lay out all panels and connect them together using the rubber 

couplers and hose clamps provided.  Make sure the couplers 
are pushed onto the header adapter at least an inch past the 
raised barb, position the hose clamps 1/4” from the ends of 
the couplers, and tighten. 

3.  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) 

4.  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) 

5.  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) 

6.  The three mounting straps provided should be positioned with one in the center of the panel, one 3” down from the top header and 

one 5” up from the bottom header. 

7.  Starting with the strap at the top of the panel, mark the position of the first lag 2” off the edge of 

the panel, position the strap over the mark with one inch overhanging the lag screw location.  
Drill an 1/8” pilot hole, remove the strap, apply roofing mastic over the pilot hole, re-position the 
strap, and screw lag screw through the strap into the roof.  (see photos 2 & 7) 

8.  Position the panel under the strap, pull the strap tight across the panel and install the second 

lag screw. 

9.  Continue until all the panels are installed then construct plumbing from the panels to the pool 

equipment. 

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:  

system with (8) 2’ panels requires 5 kits)   

REQUIREMENTS FOR ROOF TYPES OTHER THAN SHINGLE ROOF 

Flat Tile or Barrel Tile Roofs: 

Use 1-1/4” TAPCON Hex Head Screws (available at any local hardware store) in place of the provided 

lag screws.  This requires drilling a pilot hole with a 3/16 inch masonry drill bit in the tile before inserting the screw.  Do not drill into the 
substrate below the tile; doing so can promote a roof leak if not done correctly.  The mounting screws should be positioned 1” to 2” 
above the bottom edge of the tile. This will allow a space between the tile and the substrate due to the overlap in the tiles. On barrel tile 
roofs, try to lay out the panels so that the mounting holes are on the peak or top of the barrel tile.  Be sure that the tiles that the panels 
are fastened to are secure.  For high wind prone areas or where roof tiles are loose, consult your dealer for an alternate method.
