Installation Instructions
1.Determine the locations needed for the Eco-44 brackets.
2. Place base plate (#5) on finished roof deck material.
3.Trace around the base plate (#5) adding a one inch perimeter to the base plate
dimensions. Note: it may be helpful to make a tracing template to speed this process.
4. Set base plate (#5) aside.

5.Using a utility knife or scissors cut roof membrane from corner to corner diagonally across
the area marked in step three to form an “X”. This will allow the installer to fold the resulting
four triangular shapes of roof membrane back to expose the insulation below.
10
9
*Depending on the roof substructure, step six has two basic variations.
6.Cut out a section of the insulation equal to the hole cut in the roof membrane in
step five to expose the supporting substructure.
A. If the substructure is wood, gypsum, or concrete install wood blocking (#9) to
fill the void created by removing the insulation.
8
B. If the substructure is structural steel decking the installer will need to enlarge the opening in the membrane and remove enough insulation to allow the wood blocking
to be fully supported on at least two of the high points of the corrugation. The
dimensions of the wood blocking (#4) and the opening in the membrane will vary
depending on the amount of insulation that needs to be removed to allow for a
properly supported wood block.
7
6
7.Fill any voids around wood blocking (#4) in a manner that is approved by the roof membrane manufacturer to prevent thermal bridging.
5
8.Lay the four triangular roof membrane flaps back down over the wood block (#4).
9.Replace base plate (#5) over the roof membrane flaps and secure it to the wood blocking
using four fasteners (#6).
4
10.Install standoff (#7) by threading the post onto portion of the stud.
Torque to 50 inch-pounds.
11. Install acceptable roof membrane manufacturer’s plumbing / vent stack (#8)
over standoff (#7).
3
12.Secure stainless steel pipe clamp (#9) around top of plumbing vent stack flashing (#8)
with roof membrane manufacturer’s acceptable sealant, if required. It may be necessary
to trim the flashing so that it is flush with the top of the standoff.

Test Data: Load Test
Load Test Report (for reference only)
EcoFasten Solar
Machine: Universal or tensile testing machine with a capacity of 5,000 lbs or
more. ASTM E74 certified load cell and display to measure load and a dial or
electronic indicator accurate to .001” to measure displacement.
Specimen: One solar bracket fastened according to the manufactures
installation instructions to a 12”x 12” or larger section of the roof substrate.
Sealants, flashings and other roofing materials that have no affect on bracket
strength may be omitted from the assembly.
Apparatus: A welded steel structure reinforced as necessary to prevent
buckling, warping or twisting while the specimen is under load. The apparatus
is securely fastened to the bed of the testing machine.
Setup: Attach the specimen to the apparatus using #14 or #15 self drilling
screws in sufficient quantity and spacing so as to prevent failure of the roof
substrate prior the failure of the snow guard bracket. Position the apparatus on
the test machine bed and connect the load cell to the bracket so that the load
is applied as it would be during normal service.
Procedure: Photograph the specimen and apparatus prior to testing. Load the
bracket slowly with an upward pull until failure. Photograph the specimen after
testing. Do a minimum of three tests using a new specimen for each test. If
after three tests the results are inconsistent, conduct two additional tests.
Failure: Any of the following occurrences shall be considered failure.

Substrate:
1 ½” Spruce Board

tests conducted. Note any unusual observations during testing as well as a
description of the specific failure observed for each test. Fill out all requested
information on the data sheet.

Test Data: Load Test
Fastener Pull-Out Comparison
EcoFasten Solar
To determine the Eco-44 ultimate pull out capacity for your project you will first need
to know the single fastener pull out capacity of the fastener you plan to use when
fasted in to your roof deck. The best way to determine this is to do an on site pull test.
If an on site test is not possible contact the fastener manufacturer and ask for their
published pull out data. The estimated Eco-44 ultimate load will be 4 times the single
fastener pull out capacity.
(Single Screw Pullout Capacity) x 4 = Eco-44 Ultimate Pullout Capacity (No safety factor)
For example:
Fastener = Triangle #14-13 Concealer
Roof Deck = 5/8” CDX Plywood
Single Fastener Ultimate Pullout
Capacity in 5/8” CDX Plywood = 483 lbs
Eco-44 Estimated Ultimate Pullout Capacity =
483 lbs x 4 = 1546 lbs
This process determines the expected ultimate load; appropriate safety factor must still
be applied. Each plate must be fastened with four fasteners.

Leak Test Report
EcoFasten Solar tested the EcoFasten roof mount system so you can be sure your
roof penetrations won’t leak, even when under standing water.
®
Test Data: Leak Test
Our test apparatus encapsulates the entire bracket and seals against the
membrane flashing which allows us to flood the bracket and pressurize the
system.
EcoFasten Solar
A paper towel was inserted above and below the base plate in this mock installation to provide a visual indication if any of the green water leaks past the flashing.
The membrane is a 45mil reinforced EPDM from Carlisle.

Eco-44 Wood Blocking – Product Guide
Leak Test Report
The apparatus is pressurized to 30psi and left to stand for over 10
minutes. This is equivalent to nearly 70ft of standing water. The green
water leaks past the flashing. The membrane is a 45mil reinforced EPDM
from Carlisle.
Test Data: Leak Test
The patented compression fitting between the cone shape of the base plate
and the countersink in the bracket makes the EcoFasten system water tight.
Water finds its way between the bracket and membrane but stops at the base
of the compression fitting and can go no further.
EcoFasten Solar
Neither of the paper towels shows any indication of leaking. The EcoFasten
system is 100% water tight.
