[RE-wrenches] #2. Best practices for comp shingle flashing? (SunHarvest)

[Jeffrey Spies]

Eric,

Quick Mount PV does offer standard extension posts for provide additional
clearance under the array in heights of 2.25", 3.25" and 4".  You can locate
them at this link: 
http://www.quickmountpv.com/products/mount-accessories.html#page=overview
They are very easy to install and should provide the additional clearance
needed for most PV installs

We also offer optional "training bolts" that allow the mounting bolt to be
easily removed.  It is called a training bolt since solar training programs
often need to install and remove them, however, we typically recommend using
a "Heavy nut" jammed against the mounting nut to remove the bolt.  This
allows you to use the standard hardware and remove the bolts when necessary.
Just keep a few of these "heavy nuts" in your toolbox if you need to remove
the mounting bolt.  Feel free to contact me at my phone/email contact below
in my signature.

Go Solar!!  :)

> Hey guys,

> What's the consensus on the best practice for flashing roof penetrations on

> 
> I don't like Oatey because the boot degrades quickly and even shaded under the
> modules I don't like the idea of using an inferior product. The flashing on
> Master flash is quite extensive; I don't like disturbing the established
> roofing material as much as is required with Master Flash...nor do I like the
> idea of having to trim so much of the flashing. Quick-mount is easy but I
> really don't like the lack in height versatility plus the fact that there is
> no decent way of retracting the lag bolt. I know there must be a better way.

> I recall in the old days (old for me anyway) we used to just mount L-feet to
> the shingles and on my own house I mounted stand-offs directly to the shingles
> because I'm confident in that method. But, I need something with more
> insurance when working on other people's homes.
