Function
The StarMax V™ collectors must be mounted to two horizontal NAS100
series four slot rails. The StarMax V™ frame will accept the collector clip
(in code NAS10006 or NAS10007 kits) mounted along the collector
sides without drilling or tapping so the integrity of the frame wall is not
compromised. The NAS100 series four slot rail has four 9/16" slots
which accept standard stainless steel 3/8" bolts and nuts for mounting
collector clips and U-mounts to flashing. The NAS100 series aluminum
6005-T5 four slot channel rail can span 7 feet in moderate wind and
snow loads installations.
The NAS10041 2" U-mount mounts directly on top of NAS10030 roof
flashing with a 3/8" standard stainless steel nut and attaches into the
side slots of the NAS100 series rail using NAS10042 stainless steel
3/8"-16 x 1" bolts, nuts & washers.

Edge zone
A. If the collector array is mounted with top edge within 3 feet of the
ridge line, which is in the edge zone, the entire array must comply
with the edge zone maximum span distances between supports as
specified in the above table.
B. If the collector array is mounted with the side edge within 3 feet of
the eave, which is in the edge zone, the individual collector mounted
within the edge zone must comply with the edge zone maximum
span distances between supports as specified in the above table.
Refer to the above NAS100 series four slot rail maximum span table for
the maximum span between the supports. Cantilever distance is not
exceed 18". The mounting support locations must be located to comply
with the maximum span and cantilever distances for both the length and
width dimensions as shown in these diagrams.

NAS10006 tilt mounting kit
Function
Caleffi’s NAS10006 mounting kit allows StarMax V™ collectors to be tilt
mounted. Collectors may be mounted to any roof, vertical wall, fascia
board, pre-constructed rack or ground mount system. The StarMax V™
collectors must be mounted to two horizontal Caleffi NAS100 series four
slot rails or any U type rails (see illustration). The four slot rail collector
frame wall will accept the collector clip mounted along the collector
sides without drilling or tapping so the integrity of the frame wall is not
compromised. The optional rear extension tubes can be cut to length
allowing proper elevation and orientation.
Pivot shoes and collector clips are mill finshed and extruded from high
tensile strength 6005-T5 aluminum. All stainless steel bolts, nuts and
washer are made of 304 stainless steel materials and certified to ASTM
F593C and ASTM F594C standards.
Tilt mounting
The tilt mounting kit allows for the collectors to be angled differently than
the orientation of the surface they are secured to. This is achieved by
placing two rails to the back of the collector and attaching the collector
clips, pivot shoes and U-mounts included in hardware kit shown below.
The mounting rails and tilt extension tubes are available separately.

NAS10007 flush mounting kit
Function
Caleffi’s NAS10007 mounting kit allows StarMax V™ collectors to be
flush mounted to any elevated surface or ground mount system. The
StarMax V ™ collectors must be mounted to two horizontal Caleffi
NAS100 series four slot rails or suitable U type rails (see illustration). The
four slot rail collector frame wall will accept the collector clip mounted
along the collector sides without drilling or tapping so the integrity of the
frame wall is not compromised.
Collector clips are mill finished extruded aluminum from 6005-T5 high
tensile strength aluminum. All stainless steel bolts, nuts and washer are
made of 304 stainless steel materials and certified to ASTM F593C and
ASTM F594C standards.
Collector clip
The tilt and flush mounting kits contain
collector clips which have a unique
concave shape with a hole in the center
that when tightened, with supplied
3/8"-16 x 1" stainless steel bolt to rails,
tension is formed on the bolt nut which
keeps clip fastened securely.
Flush mounting
The flush mounting kit allows for parallel mounting on a sloped roof
surface. This is achieved by placing two mounting rails to back of the
collector and attaching with collector clips included in hardware kit
shown below. Mounting rails and U-mount 2" are available separately.

NAS10030 Roof flashing kit
Function
The Caleffi NAS10030 roof flashing kit provides a sturdy two-bolt
application tested to withdrawal strengths of 5,230 lbs. The attractive
low profile design (3/4") allows mounting closer to the roof and works
well with racking systems. The simple design has fewer components
to minimize installation labor. Water stays out because there are no
exposed rubber or threads. Allows compatibility with any racking and
standoff components, for simpler more cost effective installation.
The NAS10030 flashing kit inclues 3/8" stud for attaching U-mounts
and other brackets using the supplied 3/8" stainless steel nut & washer.
Black painted aluminum (6061-T6) flashing 14-3/4"L x 9-1/2"W x 0.6"H,
