10.1 Above roof installation with rafter anchors
General information
Observe the information on securing collectors on page 97.
■ This fixing system can be used universally for all standard roof
covers and is designed for wind speeds of up to 150 km/h and the
following snow loads:
Vitosol-FM/-F, type SV: up to 4.80 kN/m
2
Vitosol-FM/-F, type SH: up to 2.55 kN/m
2
Vitosol 300-TM:
up to 2.55 kN/m
2
Information on Vitosol-FM/-F, type SV
For snow loads up to 2.55 kN/m
2
, each collector is secured to 2
mounting rails. For snow loads of 4.80 kN/m
2
, a third rail is
required. The rails are the same for all snow and wind loads.
■ The fixing system comprises:
– Rafter anchor
– Mounting rails
– Clamping brackets
– Screws
– Seals
■ Guarantees a permanently safe load transmission to the roof
structure. This reliably prevents tile breakages. In regions with
higher snow loads, we always recommend this fixing system.
■ The rafter anchors are available in 2 versions:
– Rafter anchor, low tile, 195 mm high
– Rafter anchor, high tile, 235 mm high
■ To enable the mounting rails to be secured to the rafter anchors,
maintain a clearance of
max. 100 mm
between the top edge of the
rafters or counter batten and the top edge of the roof tile.
■ In conjunction with above roof insulation, secure the rafter anchors
on site.
When doing so, the screws must reach
at least 120 mm
into the
load bearing wood structure, to ensure sufficient load bearing
capacity.
■ Any unevenness in the roof can be compensated for by adjusting
the rafter anchors.
Criteria for selecting the fixing system:
■ Snow load
■ Rafter spacing
■ Roof with or without counter battens (different screw lengths)
