My installer missed the rafter on just one mount. He removed the screws and used the next set to the left. Leaving nothing in place for the missed screw hole. Will it leak?

Hey there, be sure to follow the installation instructions for HUG. Do NOT remove any screws that have missed the rafter. Any screws that get installed should remain in place. Please reach out to our support team at [email protected] if you need more info.

My solar installer told me that for newer shingle roofs, it is better to use the QuickMount Halo UltraGrip than the FlashVue system. Any pointers on which one is better? Our new roof was installed exactly one year ago

@IronRidgeSolar 2 ай бұрын

Hey there! We have different options at different price points to meet different needs for installers. HUG can be much faster to install, especially on roofs with new shingles which can now be commonly bonded together, making traditional flashings hard to slide between them. Simply put, both HUG and FlashVue work great and use tested/trusted waterproofing technology.

Hey Doug, this wasn't designed as a critter guard so we wouldn't suggest it for that use case (if that is all you are looking for). There are third-party solutions out there worth looking into. We may have more information in the future though, so stay tuned!

How does the roofer ensure the rafter is located each time? My contractor said they try to locate it but if they don’t then 6 screws into my roof instead of the 2.

@IronRidgeSolar 4 ай бұрын

That’s the beauty of the HUG! If you end up missing the rafter completely and putting all 6 screws in, you now have a deck-mounted attachment and can leave it be. At that point hitting the rafter is not necessary. The 6 lags into the roof deck provide an alternative solution to 2 in the rafter. Be sure to read our manual for full design considerations. Thanks for checking in!

the hole needs to be smaller its good because you can see the hole but also this way makes propriety . needs to be like others so its compatible with other parts and materials just in case. 11" long would be the best because 12" usually hits the roof nails. the code needs to be changed one inch in our experience. Overall seems nice. Also GREENTECH only stocks the flash foot 2 which is terrible. First you have to drill the whole stick the flashing in. Next, put the lag in. then twist the flash foot 2 in. Well after that the lag is covered and literally on a reinstall you have to dismantle the entire system now because you cannot access the lag. that's why the flash Vue is very attractive except the things we discussed.

How does this compare to flashfoot2? Does it last the life of the roof?

@IronRidgeSolar Жыл бұрын

Some newer shingles have their courses bonded together, making it more difficult to slide flashing under them. Because HUG simply goes on top of the shingle, it can speed up installs quite a bit. All our attachments are designed with the lifetime of the roof in mind. HUG is also backed by our 25-year warranty.

What’s the best way to level out the rail system? Would that be to use a 6 foot level, I’m trying to do it the fastest and easiest way

@IronRidgeSolar 2 жыл бұрын

Hey there! To level your array, ensure the rail attachments on either edge of your array are tightened at the desired height from the roof. You can pull a string-line across the rails diagonally, from corner to corner both ways, to spot any deviations in height. Adjust any protruding or descending rail locations to the proper height. You can also pull the string-line across the rails, from north to south, to check along the sides of the rails. Once complete, your array should be level and ready for modules. You could also use a spare piece of rail as a straight-edge. Be sure to go to IronRidge.com/training for new and improved training content!

@IronRidgeSolar 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Aaron, we appreciate the feedback. There are definitely other ways to square up your array. Sometimes the roof eave may not be square on an old roof. The L-Foot hardware can remain loose so the rail can be adjusted, and then tightened after that. Making sure the rails are square also confirms that the racking is equally distributing support across the modules.

What is the difference between FlashVue and FlashFoot 2?

@IronRidgeSolar 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Hrishikesh, great question! The FlashVue flashing is a bit narrower (to better fit between roofing nails) and also makes the pilot hole more visible--this also makes the stack of components and waterproofing a bit different in its style vs. that of the FlashFoot2. FF2 has a wider flashing and utilizes its own unique form of waterproofing technology. Both work great for protecting the roof and have passed the same testing. It ultimately comes down to installer preferences and pricing on why you may choose one over the other. If any further questions come up, please do not hesitate to contact our support team or your local distributor.
