Figure 26 | Tile and Standing Seam Roof Mounting
This figure depicts an example of mounting on a traditional Barrel Tile Roof. Separated Tube ST panels must be
properly protected from uneven contours in the mounting surface which are seen especially in Barrel/S-Tile, Flat Tile
and Standing Seam Metal type Roofs. Due to the need for support and protection from abrasion, substrate is required
to support and protect the Panels. If preferred, substrate may be substituted by a roof rack with support from runners
not exceeding 16" separation. If the rack/runners have a spacing greater than 16", a substrate must be used to support
the Panel from excessive sagging and uneven contours in the panel.
Note: This method of installation applies to Barrel Tile, Flat Tile, and Standing Seam roofs. Using sub-
strate and runners will allow for thorough support to the panel body which will also protect it from abrasion or punc-
ture points seen in many roofs of these types. If a system must be installed without adequate substrate and runners,
it's best advised to install the FAFCO Separated Tube ST Panel rather than the FAFCO Separated Tube ST panel.
Mounting hardware must be installed on a runner and the runner must be mounted into the sheathing of the roof with
the same number of penetrations. Seal all roof penetrations according to an industry standard method. Roof penetra-
tions can be substituted by an equivalent industry standard non-penetrating fastener rated for Standing Seam Metal
Roofs with equivalent pullout ratings.
