New Roof Composition Mount

Model QMNC

Quick Mount's New Roof Composition Mount is designed to smoothly fit into the workflow between the trades who work together to install a PV system on a new roof, whether for new construction or roof replacement. First, the ultra-strong QBase and post are mounted to the substrate after the sheeting is nailed down. The flashing is left for the roofer to weave into the shingles in the standard method. When the roof is completed, the racks and PV array are installed. This three-step process makes the installation efficient and cost effective. And the QBase makes these off-the-shelf mounts the strongest attachment on the market.

Low Slope Mount

Model QMLSH

Quick Mount's Low Slope Mount takes the traditional base-and-post PV mount to its ultimate level. The cast-aluminum QBase reinforced foundation is the strongest you can buy for mechanically attaching commercial PV systems to TPO, PVC, EPDM, built-up asphalt, and virtually all other non-metal low slope roofs.

Properly flashing penetrations in PVC, TPO and other membrane-type roofing requires the use of manufacturer-specific materials to ensure the flashing bonds chemically with the field membrane (ask the roofer of record or your roofing supplier). For built up asphalt roofs, aluminum flashings are available from Quick Mount PV in 4" and 8" tall cones (sold separately).

Classic Composition Mount

Model QMSC

Quick Mount PV's best-selling product, the Classic Composition Mount is the easiest, fastest, most universally code-compliant watertight mount available for composition roofs. The Classic Composition Mount is backed by solid engineering and is certified by the ICC-ES (ICC-ESR-2835). The patented QBlock elevated seal raises the waterproofing point 0.75 inches/1.9 cm off the roof surface, providing unsurpassed protection against leaks.

There's no need for trimming shingles to force a fit. Drill one pilot hole into the rafter, backfill it with appropriate sealant, slide the Quick Mount flashing beneath the shingle in the course above, drive the bolt home, and it's done.

The 12" x 12" Classic Composition Mount flashing is designed to fit within a standard 5 to 5.5-inch course and the exposed course should be no greater than 5.75 inches. If the exposure is greater than this, use the Shake Mount as an alternative. There's no shingle cutting and no shingle distortion caused by trying to force a fit -- just a permanent, watertight mount every time.

Classic Shake Mount

Model QMLC

The Classic Shake Mount uses Quick Mount PV's patented QBlock technology to provide the easiest, fastest, most universally code-compliant watertight mount available for wood shake roof installations. A single pilot hole is all it takes -- just drill it, drive it, and you're done.

Designed to be adaptable, Quick Mount PV's 18" x 18" flashing installs on East Coast style shake roofs (7.5-inch exposure over skip sheeting) and West Coast (10-inch exposure over solid sheeting) alike. The flashing slides quickly into place with no need to modify the shake to force a fit. Just a simple, watertight seal every time.

Quick Mount PV's Classic Shake Mount is constructed of corrosion resistant material, including .050 aluminum flashing and stainless steel hardware, which last at least three times longer than galvanized parts. The Classic Shake Mounts bolt to any racking system with an L-foot interface, and integrate directly with Prosolar and Unistrut systems, as well.

Universal Tile Mount

Model QMUTM

The double-flashed Universal Tile Mount uses the QBase foundation to make an exceptionally strong mount. The primary flashing at the roof deck forms a waterproof shield isolating all penetrating fasteners from corrosive water intrusion. The top flashing is malleable, so it works equally well for curved and flat tile roofs. Both flashings feature a spun aluminum cone, with no seams to fail in extreme climates. Ideal for both retrofit and new roof installations.

Conduit Mount

Model QMCC

Quick Mount PV designed these mounts to lift conduit off the roof to protect wiring from overheating. These mounts use Quick Mount PV's patented QBlock waterproofing technology to seal the roof penetrations, and aluminum and stainless steel parts to secure the conduit for the life of the system. Available for composition and wood shake roofs. The Conduit Mount flashing for composition roofs measures 9" x 12"; for shake roofs, 12" x 18". Use a standard single-hole conduit clamp for 1/2" through 1-1/2" conduits. Conduit clamp not included.

Pool Panel Mount

Model QMPM

Designed to work with all strap-down pool panels, Quick Mount's flashed Pool Panel Mount seals out the rain and secures the solar collector to the roof. Anchor the waterproof Quick Mounts to the roof on either side of the collector and use flat rope straps (not included) to hold it securely in the wind.

Quick Mount PV's Pool Panel Mounts work with composition shingles and wood shake roofing and are available in aluminum mill, bronze anodized, and clear anodized finish.

Extensions

Use these extruded aluminum extensions with Quick Mount's standard composition and shake mounts to add height for additional airflow between the modules and the roof or to clear obstructions. The extensions are available in 2-1/2, 3-1/4, and 4-inch lengths.

Hanger Bolts

Some jobs call for a longer hanger bolt to span gaps where insulation has been installed over the roof structure. Quick Mount offers additional hanger bolts in lengths of 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches. Only the shank of the hanger bolt is lengthened to maintain pull out and shear strength. Custom lengths are available upon request.
