Re: [RE-wrenches] Square D Disconnects mounted on the slope of the roof.

[Ray Walters]

We've made up mounting brackets with unistrut for this purpose as well.  We just bend their regular 45 deg angle brackets to match the roof tilt.  It's a bit of work though, so we are going to other solutions like the Soladek, or just putting the combiner box in a different location.

Hope this helps.

Sent by: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org Hi Folks!!! Anyone aware of minimum slope requirements for Square D 321RB disconnects....Can they be mounted on rails parallel to the slope of the roof like Outback and Midnite solar combiner boxes(down to a 3/12 pitch) I can't seem to find any notes stating the limitations in manufacturer documentation...... They are NEMA 3 of course.... Thanks in advance for any direction you can provide....
