MOUNTING
Ultra Rail allows for multiple mounting configurations. Modules can be mounted in portrait (long side of module perpendicular to
ridge) or landscape (long side of module parallel to ridge) orientations. In addition, modules can also be short side-mounted (module
clamps on short side) or long side-mounted (module clamps on long side). Long-side mounting is recommended for maximum material
eciency. Most residential structures utilize roof framing members that run in-slope with the roof, so a portrait orientation with long-
side mounting is typically the most ecient use of materials.
Design Note:
Safety Guidance
ò Always wear appropriate OSHA approved safety equipment when at active construction site
ò Appropriate fall protection or prevention gear should be used. Always use extreme caution when near the edge of a roof
ò Use appropriate ladder safety equipment when accessing the roof from ground level
ò Safety equipment should be checked periodically for wear and quality issues
ò Always wear proper eye protection
ò Ensure the lag screws will be installed in a solid portion of the roof framing member.
ò If the roof framing member is not found then seal the pilot hole immediately with roofing sealant.
