Composition Mount Specifications
Quick Mount PV ® is an all -in -one waterproof flashing and mount to anchor photovoltaic racking systems, solar thermal panels,
air conditioning units, satellite dishes, or anything you may need to secure to a new or existing roof. It is made in the USA of all
aluminum and includes stainless steel hardware. It works with all standard racks, installs seamlessly and saves labor by not need-
ing to cut away any roofing, will out live galvanized 2 to 1, and is a better low - profile mount.

QM -PV- Comp - Install 4 of 4 September 2009
Know Your Roof
It is a good idea to do a thorough roof evaluation prior to your project installation. At this time you should do a layout on the roof confirming everything on the drawing
will fit as it is intended. Any irregularities should be noted now, so that you can deal with them simply on install day. The quality of the roofing should be determined,
so that any repairs or replacement can happen before or in conjunction with the installation. On a composition roof it is important to know as much as possible about:
the manufacturer, the age of roof, the type of substrate (plywood or oriented strand board [OSB]), the rafter size, the spacing and span, the age of roof structure, who
roofed it, who built it. etc.
Photos should be taken of all of the roof variables and associated with the job file for any future reference either short term or long. Typically the building owner can
look in a file and find the composition manufacturer. If not, take a piece to the roofing yard, they can usually recognize the maker and the rough vintage. It is then easy
to obtain the written manufacturer's installation instructions for the roofing materials you are dealing with. The manufacturer's instructions will spell out exactly what
does and does not void the warranty of their roofing product. Most have a clause about roof temperature. This is commonly missed, but can easily be noted if you read
• the instructions. Officially, the roofing manufacturer's instructions supersede our instructions, as our product is weaving into theirs. It is also important to have their
instructions in the job file, for any future reference. If the manufacturer cannot be found, there is obviously no warranty in place.
On a roof that has a material and labor warranty in place (new roof), it is recommended to at least consult the roofer of record. Often the roofing contractor will void the
labor portion of their warranty if another trade modifies their work. Give the roofing contractor the option of handling the roofing modifications, or at least give them the
opportunity to inspect and approve the modifications you make. There will be fees to this roofer, but if it maintains the labor warranty it should be good money spent.
