- Contour can be installed with 1 clamp if trim section is 12″ long (or shorter) and has a splice attached on one end, on which the section of trim the 12″ section is spliced to also has 2 clamps.
- Contour Trim when installed when installed up roof requires the use of Aire Stealth Clamps.
- Wind Speed: no restrictions
- Ground Snow: up to 90 PSF
FRAME COMPATIBILITY Contour Clamp has been tested or evaluated with all modules having frames within the referenced dimensions. Be sure the specific module being used meets the dimension requirements.
- Flange Thickness: 1-3.5mm
- Usable Flange Length: 0-33mm.
JAYBOX
A.
Prior to installation, use step drill bit to place pass through holes for
conduits or water-tight connectors. Drill bit starter locations are provided
on the sides and front of enclosure.
- Do not install conduit facing up roof.
B (Rail).
Use rail-specific MLPE mounting hardware to attach Rail Hangers to rail.
Ensure junction box is pushed as close to the rail as possible. Torque to
80-in lbs (1/2″ or 7/16″ socket).
- Do not over-tighten
- If installing in areas with ground snow loads greater than 40 psf, install JayBox under module directly next to module frame edge.
B (Shingle).
Align sealing oval of box to align with mating feature on flashing. An EPDM
foam gasket is pre-installed to the underside of the junction box to seal the
flashing to the box without the need for additional sealant. Secure with
supplied #12 x 1-¾” deck screws (2x) until the junction box is pulled tight to
the flashing. Do not over-tighten screws to avoid stripping screws in OSB.
- If installing pass through fittings, ensure that the JayBox and roof deck are both properly prepared. Complete installation process before attaching the Jaybox to the deck.
- Do not install JayBox under shingle seam as illustrated below.
C.
Install wiring, conduit and fittings per NEC Requirements and following local
AHJ guidance. Using Philips Head Driver tighten the bolt.
- For additional details refer to the full QM Installation Manual.
CONDUIT MOUNT
QM CONDUIT MOUNT – COMPOSITION SHINGLE
Place conduit mounts along path of conduit. Lift shingle above mount location and insert flashing into position. Mark center for drilling, remove flashing and drill pilot hole with 1/8″ bit. Clean area, fill hole with roofing manufacturer’s approved sealant. Lift shingle and slide Conduit Mount into place. Prepare the lag bolt with sealing washer and pipe clamp (not included). Insert lag through hole in block and drill with 7/16″ socket until block is tight.
- Install mounts as required to support conduit across the roof.
- For additional details refer to the full QM Installation Manual.
QM BUG – COMPOSITION SHINGLE
Place BUG conduit mounts along path of conduit. Clean area, place mount and
drive RD Structural Screw using 5/16” socket. Prepare the Tri-lobe Screw and
pipe clamp (not included). Insert screw in an unused hole in block and drill
with 5/16″ socket until screw is tight.
- Install mounts as required to support conduit across the roof.
- For additional details refer to the full QM Installation Manual.
QM CONDUIT MOUNT – TILE
Remove the tile that the mount will be installed on, and the tiles in the course above it. Lift the bottom of the tile and slide the bottom clamp over the bottom edge of the tile. Insert the 4″ tap bolt through the slot into the threaded hole and use a 7/16″ socket to thread the screw. Tighten until the top clamp hook end unbends and forms a 90 degree angle with the tile. Use the Cap Screw (included) to attach your pipe clamp (not included) to bottom clamp. Insert conduit and tighten with 7/16″ socket.
- The clamp is reversible, use the wider hook end on tile greater than 1″ thick and the thinner hook end on tiles less than 1″ thick.
- The installation process is the same on curved tile, make sure that the Conduit Mount is installed on the crown(high point) of the tile.
- Install mounts as required to support conduit across the roof.
- For additional details refer to the full QM Installation Manual.
