ZS COMP INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR COMPOSITION SHINGLE ROOFS - U.S.
4.2.2 Law of Perpendicularity
Perpendicularity is a general principle that informs Zep Compatible array designs.
Interlocks Must be Perpendicular to Drop-In Direction.
For ZS Comp, module drop-in direction
is always North-South to match the direction of the vertical rafters, and Interlocks almost always
run perpendicular to the module drop-in direction. In this case, the Interlocks should be attached
along the upper edge of each module row.
Feet Attach on Opposing Sides of Module.
Leveling Feet must always attach on opposite sides
of the module, with the Tongue and Groove facing along the drop-in direction. Leveling Feet should
never be installed along the drop-in direction.
Figure 4.3 Law of Perpendicularity
4.2.3 Single Module Installation
A standalone module requires two Leveling Feet on each side, for a total of 4 Leveling Feet. This
remains true regardless of module orientation.
