Fastening Collectors To A Metal Roof - Rinnai Enduro SP200B Installation Manual

FASTENING COLLECTORS TO A METAL ROOF

This type of installation is not suitable for use on roofs over 10 m high.
This type of installation is not suitable for use in cyclonic areas.
WARNING
Position the lower collector mounting rail assembly so
that the rail is over the roof purlin.
Drill through the roof iron and purlin using the holes in
the rail as a guide. Apply some silicone sealant down
the holes to ensure no water leakage.
Bolt the rail to the roof purlin using a suitable fastener.
Position the collector(s) onto the roof above the lower
rail. If more than one collector is being installed, join
them together using the barrel unions supplied.
Using the supplied self drilling screws, fasten the rail
to the collector, through the square holes in the rail
as shown in the relevant diagram on page 19 to
19. Do not fasten in other locations as damage
to the collector header pipe may occur. Be careful
to adequately tighten the screws to ensure the
connection is secure without stripping the threads in
the collector case.
Position the upper collector rail above the collectors.
Fasten the rail to the collector, through the square
holes in the rail using the supplied self drilling screws.
Drill through the roof iron and purlin using the upper
mounting rail as a guide. Apply some silicone sealant
down the holes to ensure no water leakage and
secure with suitable fasteners.
Alternatively the rail can be attached to the roof using
the collector mounting straps.
