*12" Roof Flashing
NOTE: IF local codes allow the lag bolt to be secured only into the
sheathing, be sure not to overtighten. The bolt may tear
through the sheathing and reduce pull out strength.
It is recommended to install 12" wide flashing under bottom header to protect composition roof from possible
*
panel movement.
Figure 23 | Composition Roof and Membrane Roof Mounting
The figures depict an example of mounting on a composition shingle roof. Substrate is not required to support
and protect the Panels but it is recommended to put a barrier between the lower headers and the roof for extra
protection when the Panels move with temperature fluctuations.
Note: All mounting hardware must be installed with care. Seal all roof penetrations according to an
industry standard method. If local codes allow the lag bolts to be secured only into the sheathing, be sure not
to overtighten bolts.
