Flush Mounting on Tile Roofs

Roof Mounting Kit ORMEK-E
Mounting of Collector Feet
On a tiled roof, it is generally easy to locate the rafters
by simply lifting out individual tiles at the desired foot
placement. You will see the where the sheating has
been nailed into the roof rafters below. This is your
visual indicator for the rafters. Predrill small pilot holes to
find the center line of the rafters.
Install 4 collector feet by lag bolting feet into roof rafter.
If necessary, use the attached perforated plates to get
the width needed between collector feet.
Place the feet vertically so that the first angle on the roof
hook clears the top edge of the tile resting below.
Apply a generous amount of polyurethane sealant in
and around the lag bolt holes before tightening bolts
into place. Seal any other test holes made for pre-siting
rafters.
The collector feet must be aligned vertically and
horizontally.
Reinstall tiles around the collector feet.
