Universal Tile Mount - Single Manual

Remove tile at selected location of mount. Locate and mark center of rafter. Clean felt paper
with hand broom.
Use a straight edge and measure up 6 ⁄" from bot-
tom of tiles to center of the mount over the center
of rafter.
Align QBase (item 1) over rafter center and drill
two ⁄" pilot holes. Fill pilot holes with seal-
ant compatible with roong material. Place
grade-8 cap screw (item 2) under QBase in hex
slot, threads pointing up. Lag QBase into rafter
through pilot holes.
Install subashing (item 5) in either the lapped
paper method explained on this page or the three-
course method explained on the next page.
Take care to do a quality installation. When using
the paper method, slide subashing under felt
overlap or cut an additional piece of felt paper 18"
wide to slide under the course above, and over the
primary ashing of the mount. This is essential for
proper waterproong.
With a diamond blade on a grinder or skill-saw,
cut tile to allow post to pass through. Place cut tile
back in position. Insert post (item 3) and tighten
into place.
Install the 18"x 18" ashing (item 6). Pre-bend the
ashing to follow the contour of the tile if curved.
Apply sealant where post and ashing meet, and
install EPDM counter ashing collar (item 7). Be
sure to seal o the post from weather exposure
with the racking hardware (items 8-11) in the in-
terim before racks are installed.
You are now ready for the rack of
your choice. Follow all the directions
of the rack manufacturer as well as
the module manufacturer.
All roong manufacturers’ written
instructions must also be followed
by anyone modifying a roof system.
Please consult the roof manufactur-
er's specs and instructions prior to
touching the roof.
