STEP 11: Install the Sealing Ring

The Sealant Ring serves as a waterproofing dam at the base of a positive roof attachment. The Sealant Ring is used with solar arrays installed on low-slope residential roofs. Sealant Ring MUST be installed on a clean roof surface.

  1. Apply the sealant.
    Apply a bead of Sealant on the bottom of each half of the Sealant Ring. Refer to the Approved Sealants section for a list of approved sealants.
  2. Interlock two halves of the Sealant Ring.
    Set each half of the Sealant Ring around the Base Foot, interlocking the joints of both halves.
  3. Option A: Pourable Sealant

    On roofs with a pitch of 1:12 or less, apply Sealant to all surfaces with potential water infiltration as indicated below (see Approved Sealants). Fill the Sealant Ring with Pourable Sealant. Do not overfill Sealant Ring.

    Option B: High Viscosity Sealant

    On roofs with a pitch greater than 1:12 and up to 2:12, apply Sealant to all surfaces with potential water infiltration. Fill the Sealant Ring with High Viscosity Sealant.
