All persons working on roofs should have successfully 
completed a fall-safety course and should be properly 
equipped with appropriate safety equipment.
WARNING
After completion of the collector mounting and 
prior to system charging the collectors must be 
covered by a blanket of other means to avoid 
solar radiation from heating the collectors.  The 
surfaces of the collector can become extremely 
hot and could pose a burn hazard
The most important structural consideration is to securely 
anchor the solar collector and the mounting hardware to 
the structural members of the roof with the stainless steel 
hardware provided. The solar collector must be attached to 
the mounting hardware as detailed in Figure 17.
Preserving the integrity of the roof membrane is the 
most important roofi ng consideration. Ensure that all 
roof penetrations required to plumb and mount the solar 
collector are properly fl ashed and sealed in accordance 
with standard roofi ng practices.
If the region is subject to hurricane conditions, additional 
steps may be required to secure the collector and 
mounting hardware to the structural members. In certain 
areas of the country, local building codes may require 
collector wind load testing or prescribe specifi c mounting 
procedures. Consult your local building department.
Install the collectors as described in the Spanner 
Mounting instructions.

SPANNER MOUNTING 
In spanner mounting after the mounting feet are positioned 
correctly, a 3/8” hole is drilled between the rafters (see 
Figures 15 and 16 for placement of drill holes). Roof sealant 
is applied between the hardware provided and the roof. The 
bracket is then positioned over the 3/8” hole using sealant 
between the bracket and the roof. A piece of stainless 
steel 3/8” all-thread is then inserted through the hole. A 
washer and nut secures the all- thread to the bracket (be 
sure to apply sealant/caulk underneath the washer and on 
top of the nut). The all-thread rod should extend about 4” 
below the roof rafters. Drill a 3/8” hole in a 2” x 4” piece 
of lumber and insert the all-thread rod through it. The 
2” x 4” should span 2 rafters. With a lockwasher and fender 
washer secure the all-thread to the 2” x 4”. Tighten down 
until the bracket is tightly secured to the roof. Be careful 
not to over-tighten and dish out the roof underneath the 
bracket. For best results insert a spacer block next to the 
all-thread that is the width of the rafter to avoid deformation 
of the roof. (See Figure 14)
