Distribution of fixings on the rafters
Fixings:
■
Rafter flanges (from page 8)
Rafter hooks (from page 15)
■
Rafter anchors (from page 24)
■
■
Mounting brackets (from page 34)
Each number of collectors and collector combination
has a specific number of fixings allocated to it.
Subject to the spacing between rafters, a specific num-
ber of rafters is used for attaching the fixings.
The following tables detail the rafters to which the fix-
ings should be attached.
