PRE-INSTALL
• Locate roof rafters and snap chalk lines to mark the installation
point for each roof attachment.
• Drill a 7/32” pilot hole at each roof attachment. Fill each pilot hole
with sealant.
STEP 1 INSTALL FLASHKIT PRO FLASHING
• Add a U-shaped bead of roof sealant to the underside of the ashing
with the open side of the U pointing down the roof slope. Slide
the aluminum ashing underneath the row of shingles directly up
slope from the pilot hole as shown. Align the indicator marks on the
lower end of the ashing with the chalk lines on the roof to center
the raised hole in the ashing over the pilot hole in the roof. When
installed correctly, the ashing will extend under the two courses of
shingles above the pilot hole.
STEP 2 INSTALL L-FOOT
• Fasten L-foot and Flashing into place by passing the included lag
bolt and pre-installed stainless steel-backed EPDM washer through
the L-foot EPDM grommet, and the raised hole in the ashing, into
the pilot hole in the roof rafter.
• Drive the lag bolt down until the L-foot is held rmly in place. It is
normal for the EPDM on the underside of the stainless steel backed
EPDM washer to compress and expand beyond the outside edge of
the steel washer when the proper torque is applied.
TIP:
• Use caution to avoid over-torqueing the lag bolt if using an impact driver.
• Repeat Steps 1 and 2 at each roof attachment point.
STEP 3 ATTACH L-FOOT TO RAIL
• Insert the included 3/8"-16 T-bolts into the lower slot on the Rail
(sold separately), spacing the bolts to match the spacing between
the roof attachments.
• Position the Rail against the L-Foot and insert the threaded end of
the T-Bolt through the continuous slot in the L-Foot. Apply anti-seize
to bolt threads to prevent galling of the T-bolt and included 3/8”
serrated ange nut. Place the 3/8” ange nut on the T-bolt and
nger tighten. Repeat STEP 3 until all L-Feet are secured to the Rail
with a T-bolt. Adjust the level and height of the Rail and torque each
bolt to 30ft-lbs.
