Description

Racking Accelerated™
Aire® is a carefully-engineered, ergonomic racking system for pitched roofs—honoring both speed and precision. Each component has been designed to enforce a quality installation that can withstand the elements. We’ve worked hand-in-glove with installers to provide the strongest, feature-rich, open- channel rail on the market. Two rail sizes come in black-anodized and mill finishes. Listed to UL 2703 and backed by a 25-year warranty.

Glove-Friendly Components
Aire Lock® clamps are free-standing and universal, with Twist-n-Click® Technology for easy placement. The clamps do not impede wires in the tray below and they provide clean aesthetics with 1/2-inch module gaps.
Fully-Certified Cable Tray
Aire® is the only system listed as a cable tray. It uses NEC-compliant rail, with NEMA VE1 and C2.22 ratings. The high-strength open channel sheds water to keep wire connectors high and dry, while Wire Clips tame unruly PV & DG cables.
Hassle-Free Rail Alignment
The Aire Dock® works with all of our attachments for composition shingle, tile, and metal roofs. The integrated bolt drops into open slots, allowing the rail to click-in and then easily Slide-n-Glide® into the optimal position.
