STRUCTURAL SPLICE
SPLICE INSTALLATION (IF REQUIRED PER SYSTEM DESIGN)
If your installation uses NXT UMOUNT Rail Splice, attach the rails together either
before installing the rail or after. Use marking on the splice for centering the
connection. To install, slide the splice into the rail on each rail and drag it to the center
of the marking. Tighten both bolts on each rail with an impact drill, pressing firmly
until the bolt-head is flush against the splice and torqued to 15 ft-lbs. Installation is
complete when the bonding hardware penetrates the opposite side of the rail, and the
assembly torque is achieved.

are the steps of installation.
TORQUE VALUE: 15 ft-lbs. Do not use Anti-Seize.
CAUTION
• If assembling splice directly on roof, take care to prevent bolts from penetrating
roof covering.
• While installing the splice, ensure either of the rails is not offset from the center
marking.
Note:
1. Maximum gap between rails should not exceed 3/16” at splice connection
