ANCHOR C3 PRODUCTS'" Description The U2600-APP is a lightweight rooftop attachment system consisting of an U-Anchor 2000 Series plate and cover membrane. The U2600-APP includes a factory prepared SIBS cover membrane and separator disk. The U2600-APP provides a fastened, watertight, warranted attachment for APP roofing systems. Advantages • Lightweight: 24 oz. (680 grams). • Fast installation, approximate rate of 12 per man hour. • Installs on any surface from flat to vertical. U-Anchor Attachment The U2600-APP is attached by fastening through the roofing assembly and into the structural decking with 2-8 approved fasteners, as directed by project specific engineering. Depending on the roofing manufacturer's requirements, 1 or 2 plies of membrane may be required. The membrane flashing is torched in place over the primed roof membrane, followed by the separator disk, per the roofing manufacturer's specific methods. Project -specific data is required to determine the correct type of fastener and number needed to secure each U-Anchor. An ANSI/SPRI FX-1 Pull Test is recommended to measure the pull-out resistance of fasteners included in the load path, (for example, substrate -> fasteners -> the U-Anchor -> other components.) Equipment Attachment To securely mount your rooftop equipment to the U-Anchor, after its installed, the connection nut must be tightened to approximately 20-25 ft.-Ibs. Use a calibrated torque wrench during install to ensure appropriate results are achieved. Refer to product documentation for detailed installation and component requirements. Testing Results are based on plate performance only. • Ultimate Load - Shear: 4339 Ibs • Ultimate Load - Tension: 2713 Ibs Tested in accordance with ICC AC467 Individual roof deck assembly tests available upon request as application specific results may vary.

Version 1.13 // I RON RI DGE XR Rail Family Solar Is Not Always Sunny Over their lifetime, solar panels experience countless extreme weather events. Not just the worst storms in years, but the worst storms in 40 years. High winds capable of ripping panels from a roof, and snowfalls weighing enough to buckle a panel frame. XR Rails are the structural backbone preventing these results. They resist uplift, protect against buckling and safely and efficiently transfer loads into the building structure. Their superior spanning capability requires fewer roof attachments, reducing the number of roof penetrations and the amount of installation time. Compatible with Flat & Pitched Roofs Sloped roofs generate both vertical and lateral forces on mounting rails which can cause them to bend and twist. The curved shape of XR Rails is specially designed to increase strength in both directions while resisting the twisting. This unique feature ensures greater security during extreme weather and a longer system lifetime. 11" J � IUMMIEWADW .. I I , 1 . . if, 101 .0 8 1.

I RON RI DGE Class A Fire Rating Background All roofing products are tested and classified for their ability to resist fire. Recently, these fire resistance standards were expanded to include solar equipment as part of the roof system. Specifically, this requires the modules, mounting hardware and roof covering to be tested together as a system to ensure they achieve the same fire rating as the original roof covering. These new requirements are being adopted throughout the country in 2016. IronRidge Certification IronRidge was the first company to receive a Class A Fire Rating —the highest possible rating —from Intertek Group plc., a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. IronRidge Flush Mount and Tilt Mount Systems were tested on sloped and flat roofs in accordance with the new UL 1703 & UL 2703 test standards. The testing evaluated the system's ability to resist flame spread, burning material and structural damage to the roof. Refer to the table below to determine the requirements for achieving a Class A Fire Rating on your next project. Flush hMMount LJ_J_J Tilt Mount Any Slope Test Setup ulaihiniType Mounting System Mounting is tested as part of a system that includes type -tested modules and fire -rated roof covering Roof Covering Roof covering products are given a Fire Class Rating of A, B or C based on their tested fire resistance. Burnl A burni Flame Spread of Flame Test Flame at southern edge of roof is aimed up the roof as a fan blows at 12 mph. The flame cannot spread 6 feet or more in 10 minutes. Type 1, 2, & 3 <_ 6 Degrees I Type 1, 2, & 3 Class A Class A 'Class A rated PV systems can be installed on Class A, B, and C roofs. Frequently Asked Questions What is a "module type"? The new UL1703 standard introduces the concept of a PV module type, based on 4 construction parameters and 2 fire performance parameters. The purpose of this classification is to certify mounting systems without needing to test it with every module. What roofing materials are covered? All fire rated roofing materials are covered within this certification including composition shingle, clay and cement tile, metal, and membrane roofs. What if I have a Class C roof, but the jurisdiction now requires Class A or B? Generally, older roofs will typically be "grandfathered in", and will not require re -roofing. However, if 50% or more of the roofing material is replaced for the solar installation the code requirement will be enforced. Where is the new fire rating requirement code listed? 2012 IBC: 1509.7.2 Fire classification. Rooftop mounted photovoltaic systems shall have the same fire classification as the roof assembly required by Section 1505. Where is a Class A Fire Rating required? The general requirement for roofing systems in the IBC refers to a Class C fire rating. Class A or B is required for areas such as Wildland Urban Interface areas (WUI) and for very high fire severity areas. Many of these areas are found throughout the western United States. California has the most Class A and B roof fire rating requirements, due to wild fire concerns. Are standard mid clamps covered? Mid clamps and end clamps are considered part of the PV "system", and are covered in the certification. More Resources 97 Installation Manuals Visit our website for manuals that include UL 2703 Listing and Fire Rating Classification. What attachments and flashings are deemed compatible with Class A? Attachments and their respective flashings are not constituents of the rating at this time. All code -compliant flashing methods are acceptable from a fire rating standpoint. What mounting height is acceptable? UL fire testing was performed with a gap of 5", which is considered worst case in the standard. Therefore, the rating is applicable to any module to roof gap. Am I required to install skirting to meet the fire code? No, IronRidge achieved a Class Afire rating without any additional racking components. What determines Fire Classification? Fire Classification refers to a fire -resistance rating system for roof covering materials based on their ability to withstand fire exposure. Class A - effective against severe fire exposure Class B - effective against moderate fire exposure Class C - effective against light fire exposure What if the roof covering is not Class A rated? The IronRidge Class A rating will not diminish the fire rating of the roof, whether Class A, B, or C. What tilts is the tilt mount system fire rated for? The tilt mount system is rated for 1 degrees and up and any roof to module gap, or mounting height.
