structural members of the roof with the stainless steel hardware

provided. The solar collector must be attached to the mounting

hardware as detailed in Figure 6.

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 Corrugated Metal

Roof Mounting instructions.
