Reference and Tips
Additional tips and information for installing mounts:
n
See Quick Tips videos on nail removal, and more at:
http://www.quickmountpv.com/support/videos.html
n
It is not necessary or advisable to use nails or other fasteners to secure the perimeter of
the flashing.
n
The L-Mount is made to work with standard and high-definition composition/asphalt and wood shingle
roofs with 5" to 5-5/8" courses. If the exposed surface of the course exceeds this measurement you may
need to use our Classic Shake Mount instead.
n
Depending on the season and climate, size and location of seal tabs, and quality of the shingles, the
seal tabs that adhere the shingle courses together may not eectively seal the shingles to the flashings.
If this is the case, simply add several quarter-sized dabs of manufacturer accepted sealant or asphalt
roofing cement, meeting ASTM D 4586 Type II, between the flashing and the shingle above.
n
Mounts should not be installed in areas of the roof susceptible to ice damming. Water ponding under
the shingles can reach the bolt penetration.
n
Take care not to damage the roofing material while working on the roof. Removing stone granules and
deforming the shingles in any way can shorten the lifespan of the roofing. The value of the solar array is
directly aected by the condition of the roof it is attached to.
n
CAUTION: Prior to installation, check that proper screw embedment will be achieved for the necessary site
load and roofing configurations.
