Observe prior to installation
For each number of collectors, there is a specific allo-
cated number of rafter anchors or mounting brackets
(for use on sheet steel roofs).
The spacing between rafters and the potential snow
loads dictate how many rafters need to be used for the
installation.
The following tables specify which rafters the rafter
anchors or mounting brackets should be secured to.
Type SV (vertical collectors)
1 collector
2 rafters are required for all snow loads.
