Also on the torque issue, I found just using the T handle
hex wrench from the manufacturer (we use S Flex) gets the
torque where it should be, and even a gorilla can't over
torque it too far.<br>
Old fashioned, but we have less heavy tools to carry on the
roof, and no over torque issues. With lubed threads, the T
handle wrench can twirl, which is almost as fast as using a
power tool.<br>

Less messy, yes; less tedious, maybe: anti-seize also
comes in a semi-solid stick form, like a large lip balm
tube with a cap and a twist dial on the bottom to raise
the level of the anti-seize as it's used. One quick rub on
the threads per bolt. Purchased through Fastenal.<br>

Does anyone know of a less tedious and messy way to
lube the bolts than squeeze tube anti-seize? <br>
<br>
My 2 cents; I believe that the torque specs for an
engineered assembly are put in there for a reason.
Ignoring them puts the installer on the hook for any
failures. Aside from being the right thing to do,
using torque wrenches helps avoid assuming
unnecessary financial risk which my thin margins
cannot afford. <br>

We now hand torque those connects. Finally,
most torque specs are for lubricated bolts. We

Using a cordless impact driver and no lube can
cause not only module damage but also clamp

securing the modules, because the bolts spalled

You need to check the recommended
tightening torque for the module and
for the racking system you are using.
For example, what we are using these
days, Kinetic, the tightening torque
for mid and end clamps is 12 ft-lb and
here are some recommended clamping <span>torques</span>
from some different module mfgrs....<br>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:trebuchet
ms,sans-serif">Conergy 8 NM - 6
ft-lb<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:trebuchet
ms,sans-serif">Hanwha 5 NM - 3.7
ft-lb<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:trebuchet
ms,sans-serif">JA Solar 18-24 NM -
13-18 ft-lb<br>
</div>
These likely vary based on the
construction of the module frame.<br>
I've also found that some module mfgrs
do not list recommended <span>tightening</span>
<span>torques</span> in their install
manuals, so best to use discretion.<br>
<br>
We had a module break after clamping
it down. The crew described it as
'putting the module in place, clamping
it down and turning around to grab the
next module and hearing a 'crack'
followed by the crackling glass sound
(if you have ever heard a module
break, the crackling sound can last
for a few minutes). The break pattern
in the glass seemed to focus on a
particular mid clamp. I used a torque
wrench, set at around 10 ft-lb and
checked all the mid-clamp bolts,
increasing the torque setting by a few
ft-lb each time until it finally
turned a bolt instead of clicking. I
found that most of the bolts were
close to 30 ft-lb and the one that
appeared to break the glass was about
34 ft-lb.<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:trebuchet
ms,sans-serif">Suffice to say, we were
getting carried away with tightening
using cordless impact drivers. <br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:trebuchet
ms,sans-serif">At that point i and the
rest of the crew started using the
torque wrench as we were going along
until we had a better feel for what
was the proper torque. (i've done
this before, but it is something that
needs to be self "re-calibrated"
often. <br>

am curious
about the mid
clamps on the
snapnrack.
The flange
that rests on
top of the
solar panel
frame is so
small ~ 3/16".
Anyone
experience any
problems with
these failing
in a big
storm? With
solar panel
frames not
being square
it is nice to
have a little
extra to grab
- I am always
curious as to
why these
clips are made
with such a
small area to
hold the
panels down.
