INSTALLING QUIKFOOT

Snap horizontal chalk lines to mark the position of each row. Find the rafters and mark the position for installation.

Place the QF Base over the rafter vertically and screw it down using two fasteners. The stud on the base plate should line up with the chalk line.

Slide the flashing over the base plate and under the row of shingles directly above the base plate. (If the course of shingles is elevated by the flashings, notching of the shingles is
acceptable)

Place the bare EPDM washer over the stud, pushing it all the way down. Then place an EcoFasten compression bracket over the stud and bare EPDM washer, followed by the bonded sealing washer with the rubber side facing down.

Secure the bracket to the stud using the serrated flange nut and torque to 50-inch pounds.
