Rail & Splice Installation snapnrack.com Plan out rail placement based on rail lengths to minimize waste. Rail is only available in 168” lengths and corresponds with 4 modules in portrait. Optionally, cut and preassemble rail lengths on ground using module width, mid & end clamp width calculations if desired. Rail can also be cut at the end of installation. Lift rails to roof and snap into Ultra Rail mounts.

Rail & Splice Installation snapnrack.com Leveling & Squaring Rails Level the bottom rail of the array to the roof. Bubble levels can be used, but a second set of eyes at ground level can also be very helpful. If possible, set mounts in the middle of available leveling range to start. Run a string line or spare rail from the bottom rail to the top rail and set desired pitch of the array by adjusting the top rail.
PAGE 4
Rail & Splice Installation Level the remaining rails to a string line or extra rail by working out from the middle rail. If the roof surface is very uneven, work backwards from any high points in the roof and set these at the lowest possible depth. Add Leveling Extension or spacer if needed. Tighten mount hardware as rail height and position are set at each roof attachment. The final torque value should be 12 ft-lbs. Notes: 877-732-2860 www.snapnrack.com contact@snapnrack.
