[RE-wrenches] Sealants versus flashings

2014-04-19 Thread Tom Lane
Geocell 2300 is not a polyurethane sealant as far as I can determine and as I suggested ( read the label ) is compatible with asphalt shingles , it is a tripolymer but not a polyurethane . It is definitely better than silicones and Sikaflex . I have never found a polyurethane listed as compatibl

Tom, "polyurethane tripolymer sealants while excellent sealants ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ASPHALT SHINGLES" That's not accurate. Geocel 2300, a tri-polymer sealant, specifically lists asphalt shingles as a compatible substrate. See: http://www.geocelusa.com/roofing/2300a-construction-tripolymer-sea

Dan. Great thoughts on the subject. I agree with the power shed idea but this isn't feasible most of the time for me. I have been thinking about AC coupling for off grid systems and the idea doesn't excite me. Thanks for your input. Aaron Aaron Mandelkorn Owner/Solar Specialist Renewable Energ

The definition for "PV system" moved to Article 100 in 2014. I think it's pretty clear that the PV system includes the inverter, if present, and the inverter output circuits. Brian > On Apr 19, 2014, at 1:22 PM, Dan Fink wrote: > > Hi Aaron, boB, Wrenches; > > I think Aaron brings up a good

Hi Aaron, boB, Wrenches; I think Aaron brings up a good point, and it's certainly confusing to me. The boldface type heading of 690.12 is "Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings" The body of the 690.12 text begins with "PV system *circuits* installed on or in buildings shall." 690.2 defi
