structural members of the roof with the stainless steel hardware
provided. The solar collector must be attached to the mounting
hardware. See Figure 7.
Preserving the integrity of the roof membrane is the
most important roofing consideration. Ensure that all roof
penetrations required to plumb and mount the solar collector
are properly flashed and sealed in accordance with standard
roofing practices.
If the region is subject to hurricane conditions, additional
steps may be required to secure the collector and mounting
hardware to the structural members. In certain areas of the
country, local building codes may require collector wind load
testing or prescribe specific mounting procedures. Consult
your local building department.
Install the collectors as described in the Seamed Metal Roof
Mounting instructions.

COURSE AND SHOULD BE PROPERLY EQUIPPED
WITH THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY EQUIPMENT
AFTER COMPLETION OF THE COLLECTOR
MOUNTING AND PRIOR TO SYSTEM CHARGING THE

OTHER MEANS TO AVOID SOLAR RADIATION FROM
HEATING THE COLLECTORS. THE SURFACES OF THE
COLLECTOR CAN BECOME EXTREMELY HOT AND

WARNING
The most important structural consideration is to securely
anchor the solar collector and the mounting hardware to the
