The base plate of the CompactPitchXT35-Vlow is quite flat at 20 millimetres, which is why the aluminium hook can be optimally used with flat battens. This allows installers to save time because the new hook, unlike standard roof hooks for pitched roofs, has two positions in the vertical plane. All installers have to do is push the hook from the side into the guides of the base plate. Aerocompact offers both fastening screws for simultaneous positioning and mounting as well as positioning screws for decentralised base plates or concrete anchors.

The base plate is fastened with wood screws. Then the hook is fine-adjusted by moving it horizontally in one of the two guide levels. Only one wood screw is required for the final fastening. To further reduce installation time, Aerocompact offers the CE-certified roof hook optionally with a pre-mounted quick-release CL adapter. It can accommodate all X-mounting rails quickly and conveniently with the help of the innovative click mechanism. With the X40-X50 mounting rail, framed modules can also be installed in the landscape mode. The additional horizontal rails are simply mounted directly onto the base rails with the XDL cross connector. Aerocompact gives a 25-year warranty on the roof hook. (mfo)
