Install Manual

To Install RibBracket™
1. The only surface preparation necessary is to wipe away excess oil and debris
(Fig. 1).
3. Secure the RibBracket directly into the crown of the roof prole by driving the
included fasteners into the four pre-punched holes. To achieve tested holding
strength, secure the RibBracket by using all four pre-punched hole locations.
Drive the fastener in until it is tight and the washer is rmly seated (Fig. 3). Do
not over-drive fasteners; a slight extrusion of rubber around the washer is a
good visual-tightness check.
4. From either end of the RibBracket, slide the included M8-1.25 hex ange nut
(ange side up) into the top groove (Fig. 4). The RibBracket is now ready to
install ancillaries by using a standard M8 bolt, or the PV Stud for direct attach
PV applications using the S-5! PV Kit, through the slotted top thru-hole and the
previously inserted hex flange nut. For critical attachment applications utilizing
an M8-1.25 X 16 mm Hex Flange Bolt, tighten the M8 bolt to 160 inch pounds (13
foot pounds OR 18 Nm).
2. If the roof prole is slightly larger than the space between the legs of the
bracket, it is necessary to apply pressure to the top of the bracket, pushing it
down over the trapezoidal rib to expand the legs, allowing it to sit properly atop
the rib (Fig. 2).
If the trapezoidal rib is slightly smaller, the legs of the bracket can be exed
inward, allowing the rubber gasket to contact the sides of the rib as fasteners are
applied. When the bracket is exed inward to t, it is easiest to fasten one side of
the bracket and then ex the opposite side into place and nish fastening.
Note: When utilizing RibBrackets for solar installations, the channel in the
middle of the bracket can be used for wire management.
