<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Last flat roof mount I did was in San Francisco
(high winds, strict building codes). We worked with a roofer who requested that
we simply place an L-foot on top of a 3-1/2" block of PT wood or IPE and
lay the block on a pad of EPDM straight on the roof; lag down an L-foot
through the block into the supporting roof members and the roofer would
come behind us and flash around the block & foot. Not sure if this will work
in your case...</FONT></DIV>

Attachment/Flashing</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hello Wrenches,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Installing rail mounted PV array on a 2 1/2 / 12 pitch EPDM
residential roof. It's a flat section of roof in the middle of the house. Need
to keep it low so would like to use 3" or 4" Unirac standoffs. The standard
1-6" peel and stick witches hat is fine for a 7" standoff but too
tall for the 3-4" standoff. Unirac and Oatey have advised against using the
Oatey aluminum flashing although the roofer who did the roof said it
would be OK using seam tape between the Oatey and the EPDM. Another roofer I
know has said absolutely not.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I did find a rubber Masterflash (6" x 6" base) that's a good fit but all
their images show it used on metal roofs only and it's not a peel and stick.
Can I use it with seam tape and/or caulking.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Do I just need to go with the 7" standoff and the standard peel and
stick witches hat and forget the low profile?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Or is their some other system out there (roof attachment/flashing) that
would keep it low. The ridge height is already at the 35 ft limit and the
upper row of mod's would go above the ridge with the 7" standoff.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I will work with a roofer but would like to figure this out before just
turning it over to the roofer</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Very much appreciate any thoughts.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thank you and Happy New Year to you all.</DIV>
