Side Pitch Installations (Tile Roof)

Assemble the ‘A’ Frame kit and loosely bolt the baseplate to one side of the angle frame.

For installations on a roof with a pitch greater than 20°, a ‘U’ bracket and small pipe legs should be used on top of the baseplate as shown.

Note that the baseplate is positioned towards the rear of the frame to distribute the weight of the tank more evenly.

Remove several roofing tiles to expose the outer wall. Fix the ‘U’ brackets to the top of the wall plate and secure with the coach screws supplied.

Using the assembled stand in a level position, measure the required length for the pipe legs, allowing for the inside length of the pipe leg cradle.

Cut the two pipe legs the same length.

Fit the pipe legs to the ‘U’bracket using the 5/16” x 2” bolts.

Insert the pipe legs to the assembled stand and fit the 5/16 x 2” bolts.

Remove tiles from above the baseplate to expose the rafters.

Fix the two stainless steel straps onto the baseplate and fix the straps to the rafter.

Replace the tiles to the lower portion of the roof, then weather seal and overflash the penetrations through the roof.

Position the collectors centrally on the frame.

Check that the collector is level across the frame using a level.

Secure the collector in place using the collector clamps.

Fit the tank and the fittings to the frame as per the standard installation instructions.

Fit the aluminum tank clamps onto both rear and front feet of the tank base.
