Roof mounting PFM / PFM-G

Hanger bolt

Universal mounting for parallel and freestanding installation on various roof types and for freestanding installation on sufficiently anchored frames.


Attention

  • The hanger bolt must be screwed into a member capable of bearing the required static load (generally rafters).
  • The anchor plug is not part of the delivery.
  • The wood screw cannot be screwed into extraction-proof metal plugs.
  • Observe the linear expansion in sheet metal lengths(each hanger bolt is a fixed point in the sheet metal that prevents a linear expansion and can cause lifting of the sheet)

Duo hanger bolt

Universal mounting for parallel and freestanding installation on various roof types and for freestanding installation on sufficiently anchored frames. Two hanger bolts are to be installed on the roof as vertically as possible with a spacing of 120 to 172 mm. The two are connected by an intermediate plate.


Attention

  • The hanger bolt must be screwed into a member capable of bearing the required static load (generally rafters).
  • The anchor plug is not part of the delivery.
  • The wood screw cannot be screwed into extraction-proof metal plugs.
  • The roofing must be capable of withstanding the pressure needed to compress the seal.
  • Observe the linear expansion in sheet metal lengths (each hanger bolt is a fixed point in the sheet metal that prevents a linear expansion and can cause lifting of the sheet).

Rafter anchor

For parallel on-roof and freestanding mounting on tiled roofs with a roof pitch of at least 5° and an area loading greater than 30 kg/m2. Can be used for the following types of tile (list not complete): Frankfurt, Taunus, Finkenberg, Doppelwurf-Harzerpfanne, Nelskamp, Ludwigsburg, Heidelberg, Ergoldsbach Wasi, Creaton Magnum, Meindl Romano Kremper, Großfalzziegel, Aktua Korami, Jungmeier Straubing and Bogen Maxifalzziegel Plus.


Attention

  • The anchors must be screwed into a member capable of bearing the required static load (generally rafters or concrete).
  • DIN 1055 compliant
  • Roof batten, at least 30 mm
  • The gap between rafter anchor and top edge of tile must be at least 3 – 5 mm. Under no circumstances may the rafter anchor be in contact with the tile (if the overall height of roof batten and tile do not match, the lower height must be packed out)

Roof hook

For the mounting of collector modules parallel to the roof line (PFM-S and PFM-W) on tiled roofs with a roof pitch of at least 15°. The hooks are hung over the tiles. Should the underlying roof batten be too thick, the lower part of the top hook is sawn off. To ensure that the hook cannot be lifted, a hole is drilled through the tile and the hook held by the screw supplied.

Plain tile hook

Only for parallel installation on plain tiled roofs (generally steep roofs with a pitch of over 30°), the hooked ends are hung over the roof battens and screwed in place, an upright collector is not possible here.

Joint clamp

Only for parallel mounting on folded-seam tin roofs with galvanised or coated sheet steel, or copper.

Attention

  • Not recommended for titanium-zinc sheet due to danger of cracks at low temperatures
  • Any stainless-steel screws used may not be reused after they have been undone (danger of breakage).
  • Clamp joint at least 30 mm high.

Universal guy cable set

For securing collectors on tin joint roofs against the wind, comprising a guy cable, turnbuckle and fastenings for collector frames and a joint clamp for guy cable tensioning. Material: Stainless steel.

Solar bracket

Two-part fixture for parallel and freestanding installation on side lock tiles.


Attention
Not to be used for sheets (due to the fixed points that prevent a linear expansion and so would cause lifting of the metal sheet).

Joint clamp for guy cable set

The joint clamp is required for mounting the guy cable set on joint tin roofs with galvanized or coated sheet steel or sheet copper. (One in each guy cable set). The guy cable set is fastened to the joint clamp using shackles (supplied with the guy cable set).

Note: The joint clamp can also be used with a 1“ pipe provided on site as an additional snow guard above the collector (does not replace the snow guard system provided on site which is an absolute requirement).


Attention

  • Not recommended for titanium-zinc sheet due to danger of cracks at low temperatures
  • Any stainless-steel screws used may not be reused after they have been undone (danger of breakage)

Bitumen flange plate 50 mm

For parallel and freestanding installation on bitumen and elastomer roofs.

Attention

  • The plates must be screwed into a member capable of bearing the required static load (generally rafters or concrete).
  • Once installed, the plates have to be sealed to the roof sheet material (at least 120 mm). Only then can the collector be mounted.

Bitumen flange plate 240 mm

For freestanding installation on bitumen and elastomer roofs; also suitable for flat roofs.

Attention

  • The plates must be screwed into a member capable of bearing the required static load (generally rafters or concrete).
  • Once installed, the plates have to be sealed to the roof sheet material (at least 120 mm). Only then can the collector be mounted.

Profiled sheet metal bracket

For parallel and freestanding mounting on profiled or corrugated sheet metal. The console is mounted above the mounting screws of the profiled or corrugated sheet metal. The two sealing screws are first screwed in and the stud is then screwed directly
onto the underlying mounting screw of the sheet. The sealing is done before the console is mounted using the sealing pads supplied. The sections are fixed to the section connectors on the console.


Attention

  • The console must be ordered to fit the relevant profiled or corrugated sheet metal..
  • The mounting screws supplied with the console must be appropriate in type and length for the particular roof construction.
  • The data sheet has to be filled out completely.

Corrugated calotte (for 5 or 8 corrugations)

For parallel and freestanding mounting on corrugated cement asbestos roofs. The calotte is screwed to the load-bearing wooden frame using the mounting screws and then sealed with sealant. The parallel sections are then screwed to the angle bracket that has been bolted to the console.


Attention

  • Various sizes: Profile 5 –> 5 corrugations per metre; profile 8 –> 8 corrugations per metre
  • The sealant required is supplied with the brackets.
  • The frame screws must be screwed into a member capable of bearing the required static load (generally rafters). Longer frame screws are necessary if the roof construction is higher (e.g. roof insulation).
  • The data sheet has to be filled out completely.

Anchor bolt galvanised (with or without height compensation)

For freestanding mounting on concrete. The anchor bolt is inserted at least 58 mm into the Ø 10 mm hole pre-drilled in the concrete. The aluminium profile with a Ø 10.5 mm clearance hole is threaded over the bolt and fixed with a washer and nut.


Attention

  • Various sizes: 120 mm in length, no height adjustment; 180 mm in length, up to 70 mm height adjustment.
  • The anchor bolt may have a maximum angular deviation from the vertical of 5°.

Anchor bolt stainless steel (with or without height compensation)

For freestanding mounting on concrete. The anchor bolt is inserted at least 58 mm into the Ø 10 mm hole pre-drilled in the concrete. The aluminium profile with a Ø 10.5 mm clearance hole is threaded over the bolt and fixed with a washer and nut.


Attention

  • Various sizes: 120 mm in length, no height adjustment; 180 mm in length, up to 70 mm height adjustment.
  • The anchor bolt may have a maximum angular deviation from the vertical of 5°.

Gravel pan

For freestanding installation of PFM- and PFM-G collectors on flat roofs with a roof pitch of max. 5° Before gravelling, an appropriate number of pans are arranged on the roof and screwed to the collector frame. The pans are filled with suitable gravel (e.g.
screened and washed gravel 16/32) before mounting the collectors.


Attention

  • An underlay fleece (TiSUN accessory) has to be used on foil-covered roofs or other roofing materials that could be damaged by the gravel pans)
  • If the roofs are already gravelled, the areas for the gravel pans have to be cleared on site
  • The gravel pans have to be filled as soon as possible after installation of the collector frame, to prevent the collectors from tilting, lifting off etc.
