After that, counter-flash with a ITW metal roof flashing boot glued down only with a sealant (doesn't make sense to add more holes to flash). I'm considering adding a weep hole at the bottom in the counter flash boot on the down hill side.</div><div><br></div><div>As for the European foot, it is made by TiSun. They use a large metal plate that screws through the hole cut in the metal roof, the metal plate overlaps the roofing with a rubber seal held in compression against the metal roof by the force of the screws.</div><div><br></div><div>But, yes it makes me nervous to cut a roof<br><div><div><br></div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>Troy Harvey</div><div>---------------------</div><div>Heliocentric</div><div>801-453-9434</div><div><a href="mailto:taharvey@heliocentric.org">taharvey@heliocentric.org</a></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span> </div><br><div><div>On Feb 7, 2009, at 3:09 PM, William Miller wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div> <font size="3">Troy:<br><br> How are you planning on attaching the rubber boot to the roof sheeting? If you attach with sheet metal screws, won't your screws penetrate into the sheeting and trap the metal in place? If you glue it, you are dependant on the glue. I see the overall concept, but don't see how to attach a boot (pop rivets???).<br><br> Wm Miller<br><br> <br> At 11:24 AM 2/7/2009, you wrote:<br><br> <br> <blockquote type="cite" class="cite" cite=""> and use an <br> overlapping rubber seal so the roof can move independently of the <br> mounting foot.<br> </blockquote> <x-sigsep></x-sigsep></font><p><font size="3"> <u>Please note new e-mail address and domain:<br><br> </u>William Miller <br> Miller Solar<br> Voice :805-438-5600 Fax: 805-438-4607<x-tab> </x-tab><br> email: <a href="mailto:william@millersolar.com">william@millersolar.com</a><br> <a href="http://millersolar.com/" eudora="autourl">http://millersolar.com<br> </a>License No. C-10-773985<br> </font></p></div> _______________________________________________<br>List sponsored by Home Power magazine<br><br>List Address: <a href="mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a><br><br>Options & settings:<br><a href="http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org">http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org</a><br><br>List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org<br><br>List rules & etiquette:<br>www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm<br><br>Check out participant bios:<br>www.members.re-wrenches.org<br><br></blockquote></div><br></div></div></div></body></html>
