OVERVIEW
The ClickFit mounting system consists of patented adjustable tile hooks and L feet, rails, and
the installation materials required for the mounting of photovoltaic modules on composition
shingle or tile roofs. For simplicity, tile hooks and L feet will be referred to as “attachments”.
ATTACHING TO THE ROOF
The attachments are fastened to the rafters. Attachments are height-adjustable to level the
system on uneven roof surfaces.
ATTACHING THE RAIL
The rail assembles to the attachments with a click-connector, or Clicker. The rail simply clicks
into place without the use of any tools.
ATTACHING THE MODULES
The modules are attached to the rails by means of mid clamps and end clamps.
Installer must review module and any 3rd party manufacturer’s documentation for
compatibility and compliance with warranty terms and conditions.
WARNING: This product must be installed and used according to this written instruction.
Any installation or use of this product not in accord with or not authorized by this written
instruction shall void any and all warranties, express or implied, on the product or the use
of the product and may cause failure, property damage and personal injury. EcoFasten is
not liable for any unauthorized use. Install and use only with other EcoFasten products to

INSTALLATION GUIDE
ARRAY LAYOUT
• Refer to span tables, local jurisdiction, or engineer of record specications when determining
setbacks from roof edges, attachment spans, etc.
• Mark the perimeter and corners of the array on the roof surface.
*Add 3/4” to account for the gap between modules in each direction*
• Draw or snap chalk lines where the rails will be installed,(refer to module manufacturer specs
to determine allowable mounting locations).
• Locate rafters within the area of the array. It may be necessary to shift
the array East or West on the roof in order to fall within the rail cantilever
specs (1/ 3 of span).
• Stagger rafters every row if required by the local jurisdiction, engineer of record, or company
policy.

INSTALLATION
PRE-INSTALLING RAIL SPLICES
1. Determine the number of rails required per row of modules.
2. Insert a rail splice into one rail. Do not push it past the center bump.
3. Slide the next rail onto the rail splice until the two rail ends meet.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the desired length is achieved.*
*This is usually easiest to do from the ground.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION OF FLASHING & L-FOOT
• ClickFit for comp shingle roofs uses EcoFasten GF-1 watertight
ashing system.
• Other roof types may use dierent EcoFasten Solar
attachments, visit ecofastensolar.com to learn about other
applications.
INSTALLATION STEPS:
1. Locate rafter lines.
2. Drill 7/32" pilot holes at all attachment points and back ll using roof-compatible sealant.
3. Separate shingles where ashing is to be installed. Insert the ashing so the top portion is under
the next row of shingles north of the pilot hole. Ensure the ashing is pushed to the third-course
of shingle to prevent water inltration through the vertical joints between shingles.
4. Align GF-1 ashing hole with pilot hole. Insert the lag bolt with pre-installed bonded washer
through the L foot and EPDM grommet. Tighten the lag bolt until fully seated. The EPDM Ring
visual indicator is the most eective way to ensure a watertight seal.
*Note the orientation of the L foot and clicker.
The clicker should be facing downslope
