EZ Pitched Roof System Portrait Panel Configuration: With a full range of components the Pitch Roof System can be configured in an endless variety of designs. The system is IBC compliant for roof waterproofing tested by IAPMO, UL 1703 compliant for Class-A Fire Rated for Type 1 and 2 PV Modules and UL 2703 compliant for electrical bonding tested by ETL. Proceed with the mounting of the PV panels using the Mid and End Clamps.
EZ Pitched Roof System Minimum Panel Height Minimum leading edge height to meet a UL1703 PV module fire standard is 3 inches. 3 inch minimum from bottom of PV module frame to the roof covering End Clamp Attachment There must be a minimum of 1.5 inches of Rail extending beyond the PV panel frame. Clamp the PV panel frame by inserting the T-Bolt into the Rail slot. Position the End Clamp firmly against the PV panel frame and secure using the 1/4-20 Collar Bolt. Using a 7/16” socket, torque to 7.5 ft. lbs.
EZ Pitched Roof System Landscape Panel Configuration: The Pitched Roof System conveniently accommodates landscape configurations to minimize roof time and parts required. The system is IBC compliant for roof waterproofing tested by IAPMO, UL 1703 compliant for Class-A Fire Rated for Type 1 and 2 PV Modules and UL 2703 compliant for electrical bonding tested by ETL. Proceed with the mounting of the PV panels using the Mid and End Clamps.
EZ Pitched Roof System Minimum Panel Height Minimum leading edge height to meet a UL1703 PV module fire standard is 3 inches. 3 inch minimum from bottom of PV module frame to the roof covering End Clamp Attachment End Clamps are used at the ends of a row of PV panels. Insert the T-Bolt in the Rail slot and turn clockwise 90° to engage the head into the slot. Insert Grounding T-Bolt Holder to lock T-Bolt in place. Thread the 1/4” Collar Bolt onto the top of the TBolt as shown.
EZ Pitched Roof System Ground Wire Attachment The picture shows a grounding lug mounted on one Rail per row of panels, and a #6 solid copper grounding wire connecting the Ground Lugs to the building ground per NEC 690.47. Ground Lug Installation One Rail per row of panels should have a Ground Lug for fastening the ground conductor to the array. The Ground Lug is mounted on the top or side of the Rail using a special 1/4” TBolt, Grounding Spacer, and Flange Nut.
