TopTile Mount Series:
SunModo offers 3 choices of TopTile Mounts for rafter mounting, wood deck mounting and concrete deck mounting.
The TopTile Mounts provide a strong, low-profile roof attachment solution for flat or curved tiles. Another important
feature of the TopTile Mounting System is the hand formable Flashing along with its EPDM Cover which provides
superior leak protection.
TopTile Mount Options:
Rafter Mounting System:
Available Stanchion heights: 5” and 7”.
These TopTile Mounts can be used when rafters
are visible from the eave. Flat tiles allow lateral
flexibility to locate the rafter. 6” and 8” can be
achieved with 1” spacer.
Wood Deck Mounting System:
Available Stanchion heights: 5” and 7”. These
TopTile Mounts are used for curved tiles or flat
tiles to mount directly into wood decking
without removing tiles.
6” and 8” can be achieved with 1” spacer.
Concrete Deck Mounting System:
Available Stanchion heights: 5” and 7”. These
TopTile Mounts are used for curved tiles or flat
tiles to mount directly into flat concrete decking
without removing tiles.

Deck Stanchion Selection Chart:
Select the correct Tripod Stanchion height, and Spacer if needed, such that the three tripod screw holes will
be accessible above the tile when the Stanchion is installed.
When the Flashing is installed the EPDM Cover should conceal the three tripod screw holes to prevent water
infiltration.
Using a roofing bar, carefully remove a tile and measure from the deck of the roof to the top of one of the
tiles. Select the Stanchion using the table below.
