Product overview

The clamp holds the main support rail firmly against the triangle or hook bracket so the panel array stays stable under wind and load. On adjustable triangle installs you need two clamps per triangle, one at each rail. On tiled roof systems using adjustable hooks, fit one clamp at every hook position along the rail.

Applications

• Flat roof PV installations using adjustable aluminium triangles
• Tiled roof PV systems using adjustable hook brackets
• Solar panel mounting rail systems using compatible aluminium rails

Installation and safety notes

Installation should be carried out by a qualified installer in line with local building regulations and electrical standards. Fixings should be torqued to the manufacturer's specification, and the rail and clamp combination must be rated for the wind and snow loads expected at the site.
