Remove the EPDM Washer.
Install the 1 Spacer.
Replace the EPDM Washer with the rubber gasket facing down.

Deck Screw Installation

Install the 3 wood screws into the stanchion using a T25 Torx/Star Bit.
Due to the side driving force of installing the screws into the sides of the stanchion, care should be taken to keep the stanchion plumb.

Stanchion Sealing

Flashing Installation:

For curved tiled roofs, hand form the flashing to match the tile contour.
Install flashing over the Stanchion and under the edge of the tile located above.
If the leading-edge tile cannot be lifted, flashing can be placed below but a bead of roof sealant must be used to help deflect water around or over the top of the flashing.

L-Foot Attachment

Install the L-Foot with its M8 Bolt onto the top of the stanchion.
Use a 13mm (1/2) hex socket and torque to 13Nm (10 ft-lbs).

Rail Attachment

Loosely install the L-Foot Adaptor to the L-Foot using the M8 Bolt provided.
Install the Rail onto the L-Foot and L-Foot Adaptor.
Confirm that the hooks on the L-Foot Adaptor are fully engaged with the hooks on the side of the Rail.
Adjust the Rail to the desired height and then secure the Rail to the L-Foot Adaptor using the M8 Bolt.
Use a 13mm (1/2) hex socket and torque to 13Nm (10 ft-lbs).

TopTile Installation Instructions

Tile Hole

Locate the desired location of the TopTile. Using a 1 1/2” or 2” tile hole saw, drill a hole into the tile.
Remove the tile dust from around the hole and the tile dust on the underlayment.

Underlayment Foam Application

After clearing away the tile dust on the underlayment, spray a 4” to 6” circular bead of poly urethane foam sealant onto the underlayment.
We recommend POLYSET® RTA 1 Roof Tile Adhesive, or Great Stuff FireBlock, or any polyurethane spray foam approved in your jurisdiction is acceptable.
Please refer to the Florida Product Approval ( FL41592 R1 for sealant applications in Florida.

Stanchion Installation

Install the Stanchion using a 38mm Socket.
Torque until the stanchion and gasket are fully seated.

TopTile “Correct” Installation

The 3 wood screw stanchion holes are above the tile and below the collar of the EPDM cover on the Flashing.
Note: Repositioning the stanchion higher or lower along the tile will increase or decrease the position of the 3 wood screw stanchion holes.

TopTile “Acceptable” Installation

The 3 wood screw stanchion holes are above the tile, and also above the collar of the EPDM cover on the Flashing.
POLYSET® RTA 1 Roof Tile Adhesive spray foam can be used to prevent water infiltration.

TopTile “Incorrect” Installation

The 3 wood screw stanchion holes are below the tile profile. In this position, the wood screws cannot be installed.
In this situation, we recommend adding a 1” Spacer to the stanchion.

1” Spacer Assembly

If required add a 1” Spacer to the bottom of the stanchion.
Remove the EPDM Washer, install the 1” Spacer, and replace the EPDM Washer with the rubber gasket facing down.

Deck Screw Installation

Install the 3 wood screws into the stanchion using a T25 Torx/Star Bit.
Due to the side driving force of installing the screws into the sides of the stanchion, care should be taken to keep the stanchion plumb

Stanchion Sealing

Spray a circular bead of POLYSET ® RTA 1 Roof Tile Adhesive around the hole and the Stanchion to create a watertight seal.

Flashing Installation

For curved tiled roofs hand form the flashing to match the tile contour. Install flashing over the Stanchion and under the edge of the tile located above.
If the l eading edge tile cannot be lifted, the flashing can be placed below but a bead of roof sealant must be used to help deflect water around or over the top of the flashing.

L-Foot Attachment

Install the L Foot with its M8 Bolt onto the top of the stanchion; use a 13mm (1/2”) h ex socket and torque to 13Nm (10 ft-lbs).

Rail Attachment

Loosely install the L Foot Adaptor to the L Foot using the M8 Bolt provided.
Install the Rail onto the L Foot and L Foot Adaptor. Confirm that the hooks on the L Foot Adaptor are fully engaged with the hooks on the side of the Rail.
Adjust the Rail to the desired height and then secure the Rail to the L Foot Adaptor using the M8 Bolt; use a 13mm (1/2”) hex socket and torque to 13Nm (10 ft-lbs).
