FAQs
Is this hook compatible with all tile types?
No, the ER-I-PRO/02 is specifically engineered for plain tile roof applications.
What is the primary material used?
The component is manufactured from high-grade corrosion-resistant metals suitable for external roofing environments.
Can I use this on a steel roof?
No, this product is intended for plain tile pitched roof applications; steel roofs require different mounting solutions from the PV-ezRack range.
Does it come with all necessary hardware?
It includes the pre-assembled hook and Cross connection clamp, though standard structural lag screws for rafter mounting are usually supplied by the installer to meet specific timber size requirements.
How do I ensure the roof remains waterproof?
Proper installation involves ensuring tiles are correctly replaced and, if necessary, using appropriate flashing or sealant according to local building codes.
Troubleshooting
Hook base does not sit flat on the rafter
Clear away any debris or uneven wood shims from the rafter surface and ensure the pilot hole for the bolt is drilled vertically.
Tiles around the hook are lifted too high
Adjust the mounting position of the hook or consider minor trimming of the tile interlocking section per local roofing trade standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For proper setup, ensure the roof rafters are inspected for structural integrity before attachment. Use only approved stainless steel fixings to prevent galvanic corrosion. When installing on plain tile roofs, ensure that the hook does not cause excessive pressure on the surrounding tiles, which could lead to cracking. For maintenance, a biannual inspection is recommended to check that all rail connections remain tight and that the roof hook base has not shifted due to extreme wind loading or thermal expansion. Always follow the manufacturer's specific layout manual for rail spacing requirements based on your local wind and snow load region.
