If so then i think an Iron Ridge top cap could be turned upside down.  you can fasten the Ubolts around the purlins maybe overkill   and also maybe hard to waterproof, if waterproof is something they need   On Wed, Apr 3, 2024 at 3:59 PM William Miller via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: Colleagues:   I have been asked to bid on installation of PV on a steel barn.  The mounting area is an awning with steel pipe purlins.  See photo below of a section of the plans.     I have mounted racking to a lot of different steel structures, but never one with steel pipe purlins.  I would normally use the EJOTs with thread forming shanks, but I don’t know how well they will work in steel pipe.   Has anyone else ever faced this situation?   Any help is appreciated.   William Miller   Miller Solar 17395 Oak Road, Atascadero, CA 93422 805-438-5600 www.millersolar.com CA Lic. 773985     _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance Pay optional member dues here: http://re-wrenches.org List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org There are two list archives for searching.
