The COMPACTPITCHXM-F REPTILE system offers an innovative solution for a wide range of different roof tiles on pitched roofs, with a flexible cover that can be adapted to the tile shape. The roof hook can therefore always be mounted centrally on the rafter, regardless of the tile grid, guaranteeing optimal force transmission.
THE CHALLENGE
The installation of roof hooks usually requires a wide variety of tools and machines. With conventional roof hooks, the roof tiles must be machined with an angle grinder in order to reinsert the tile flush over the roof hook. When working, there is a risk that they will break and leak over time. The positioning of the roof hook depends on the tile, so the forces are not optimally transferred into the roof structure via the rafter. The use of sheet metal substitute tiles results in high storage costs for the installer and, due to the large variety of types, especially on the European market, increases the risk of complications and thus delays in delivery and installation.
THE SOLUTION
The XM-F REPTILE system offers an innovative solution for a wide range of different roof tiles on pitched roofs: With a flexible cover that adapts to the shape of the tile. AEROCOMPACT's Pierce Labyrinth Seal allows flexible positioning of the roof hook on the flashing. The roof hook can therefore always be mounted centrally on the rafter, regardless of the tile position, thus guaranteeing optimal force transmission. This results in an enormous load-bearing capacity of the roof hook and, depending on the area of application and system combination, leads to a significant reduction of fastening points. A support plate (no step protection ) is only required to prevent accumulation due to snow loads if the cover plate is located outside the module field.
The slide can be adjusted to three different heights and adapted to the roof batten height. Fine adjustment of the engaged rail is possible with the pre-assembled quick connector. With our specially developed thin sheet metal screw, installers only need one bit to tighten all screws. The XM-F REPTILE system is a novel roof hook design that is particularly strong due to the optimized force transmission into the rafters. This makes it much easier to install in areas with high snow loads. In areas with lower snow loads, the number of roof hooks can be significantly reduced by combining them with the X60 rail, thus saving instal- lation time and construction costs.
Fits perfectly: the new PV mounting system from AEROCOMPACT has coloured cover plates.
Waterproof: With the pierce-labyrinth style seal from AEROCOMPACT.
Thanks to the high load-bearing capacity, numerous roof hooks are no longer necessary.
In the package: The pre-assembled system can be installed in a very short time.
THE SYSTEM ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE:
- Cost-effective due to savings on roof hooks
- Pre-assembled
- Assembly always on rafters, therefore higher loads possible
- Adaptable to almost any tile shape
- Flexible in application
