[RE-wrenches] Quick Mount PV flat-tile mount

[Peter Parrish]

I can vouch for the Tile Trac as well. After your installers get a couple of
install under their belt, the install goes pretty smoothly. A couple of
things that weren't mentioned. The 3/8" clearance hole accepts a 3/8" SS
"all thread" which can be used to level a waney roof (to a degree), and the
all thread keeps the tile in place. I would add a 3/8" SS fender washer
loaded up with your favorite caulk on top of the tile after replacing it.

I have not used the QMPV system on flat tile, and I wanted to suggest Tile
Trac if you do one again. It is much easier and only a small 3/8" hole to
drill which equates to less leakage problems. 

Just my 2w.

Hi All,
Anyone use the Quick-Mount PV system for tile? We don't do many tile roofs,
but we have an upcoming job with flat cement tiles. In the past we've pulled
the tiles, placed posts and flashed, cutting the tile to fit. It's a pain.
The Quick Mount PV system, www.quickmountpv.com, replaces a tile with a
exact-fit plastic flashing with integral flange that goes over the post. It
sounds like it'll save a lot of time - if it works.
Thanks,
-Kelly
