Mounting
Mounting Requirements
- (2) IR-05 Brackets are required per module after the starter row ((2) extra IR-05 Brackets will be required at the end of each row).
- For high wind areas, additional IR-05 Brackets can be mounted against the end module that will catch the most wind.
- (6) IR-F1 Rail-Less Module Flange Clamp & Bonding Brackets will be required per module (Sold separately)
Ballasted Install
Each IR-05 is designed to clamp around a standard cinder block to provide weight for the system.
- Each IR-05 Bracket is capable of clamping around a 32lbs cinder block (4″ x 8″ 16″) for best fitment and sufficient weight.
- The structural bends of the IR-05 are designed to keep the cinder block 1/4″ above the roof surface.
- Most roof manufacturers require that a slip mat be placed between any ballast system and the roof surface.
Adhesive Install
If roof structure cannot support the weight of a ballasted system, each IR-05 can be mounted using nothing but a high-strength polyurethane adhesive for up to 200lbs of uplift per bracket, while maintaining non-invasive mounting.
- Approximately (1) tube of IntegraRack’s recommended high-strength tested adhesive (Bostik 915FS™ Hurricane Strength Polyurethane Adhesive) will be required for every (10) IR-05 Brackets (Adhesive sold separately).
- Polyurethane adhesive requires 24-48 hours to set up depending on climate conditions.
Deck Mounting Install
For the most secure mounting each IR-05 can be deck mounted to the roof. Before using deck mounting bolts, Adhesive Install must be done first to maintain a watertight seal.
- (4) IR Deck Mounting Bolts with EPDM Sealing Washers will be required per IR-05 Bracket.
- Each IR-05 has five openings on the bottom surface. The four outer openings are for the deck mounting bolts, while the middle opening is for visual inspection of the adhesive to ensure proper tension has been applied.
