Do not proceed with the installation until you have read the entire instructions, including these warnings. Use of materials or methods not authorized by Solatube International will result in an invalid warranty.

Solatube International, Inc. (seller) assumes no responsibility or obligation whatsoever for the failure of an architect, contractor, installer, or building owner to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, building codes, electrical codes, energy codes, fire and safety codes and requirements, roof warranties and adequate safety precautions. Installation of this product should be attempted only by individuals skilled in the use of the tools and equipment necessary for installation. Protect yourself and all persons and property during installation. If you have any doubt concerning your competence or expertise, consult a qualified expert before proceeding.

Install at your own risk!

Solatube product installations may be dangerous and include the potential for death, personal injury and property damage. The hazardous conditions include but are not limited to the following:

During installation, the Solatube Daylighting System’s reflective tubes may focus sunlight, causing intense heat or fire. Remove protective film only after the parts have been installed. Prior to and during installation, do not leave tubes in contact with combustible materials or unattended, especially near direct sunlight. Avoid skin burns.

Do not leave debris from installation process unattended. Scrap from tubing and foil tape are highly reflective and if left unattended can focus sunlight and can cause intense heat or fire. Clean up all unused material and trash and store or discard in proper covered locations.

Solatube Daylighting System and Solar Star products may have sharp edges. Always wear leather or canvas gloves while handling and installing products.

Solatube product installations require climbing and working at dangerous heights, including on ladders, scaffolding, roofs and in attic spaces. Risk of death, personal injury and property damage may result from a fall, or from falling objects. Use extreme caution to minimize risk of accidental injury, including, but not limited to the following procedures:

Clear area below your work space of all people, animals and other items.

Avoid working on surfaces that are slippery or wet.

Use foot-wear with excellent traction.

Use only strong, well supported ladders.

Work only in calm dry weather.

When in the attic, ensure that your weight is supported at all times with structurally sound framing; drywall material is not designed to carry a person’s weight.

Daylighting Systems Installation Tips

These instructions are a step-by-step guide for the installation of a Solatube Daylighting System in the following conditions. For other roof types, please contact your Solatube International representative for additional information.

Built Up Flat Roof - Single Ply/Membrane - Asphalt Shingle - Low/No Pitched - Pitched - Prefabricated Curbs - Metal Roof Panels

Please refer to the installation tips for the appropriate product below:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electric tools, including always wearing safety goggles or other suitable eye protection, and ensuring work area is clear of all electrical wires, gas pipes, water pipes, and other obstacles.

When working in the attic or other dusty areas, use of a mask or respirator is recommended to avoid lung irritation. Attic spaces may be dark, confined, and subject to extreme temperatures. Beware of sharp protruding objects. Do not attempt installation without having someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid if necessary.

Solatube products are not designed to withstand the weight of a person, tools or other objects. Walking or placing objects on the system could cause personal injury and property damage. If the product is damaged, the structural capacity may be weakened; therefore the system should be repaired immediately. For safe installation and use, do not deviate from these installation instructions.

Additional support is recommended for long vertical and all horizontal tube runs. Review local building requirements and consult with appropriate building code official for proper material and placement of additional support. Avoid galvanic reaction (corrosion) if dissimilar metals are used.

Electrical Components Before installing, servicing, or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel to prevent power from becoming switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device such as a tag to the service panel.

Re-Roofing Solatube products require special care if removed for re-roofing. In order to ensure proper removal and re-installation, please contact your Solatube

International representative.

Daylighting Systems Installation Tips (Continued)

Allow at least 2-3 hours for the installation, particularly if this is your first installation.

During the day, turn off all the lights in the room to see how much natural light comes in through the windows, and determine the best position for the

Solatube Daylighting System. To light a specific area, place the system over the area, not in the center of the room. This will prevent the desired area from being shaded by tall objects in the room.

Measure the distance between the roof and the ceiling. If you don’t have enough tubing, contact your Solatube International representative for additional tubing.

Avoid roof locations shaded by trees, ridges and chimneys, or near water channels or valleys. Also avoid roof areas with obstructions such as fire sprinklers, HVAC equipment, gas, water or drain pipes, air ducts or flues and make sure that the roof is adequate to endure an installation without damaging its waterproofing properties or weakening the building structure.

All adhesives, seals and tapes are recommended to be applied to a clean and dry surface at a minimum of 70°F (21°C) for maximum performance.

Foil tape contains a pressure sensitive adhesive and pressure must be applied at all seams for proper bonding. Foil tape is not intended for use as structural support of the extension tubes. For structural integrity use manufacturer supplied fasteners on all overlapping extension tube joints.

Uninstalled product that is stored and exposed to excessive heat and or humidity can experience damage. Store product prior to installation in a cool dry place.

For installations where high levels of suit or debris may be present it may be necessary to use foil tape to seal the diffuser to the tubing to prevent the excess debris from entering the tubing.

FM (Factory Mutual): The 750 DS Dual Dome with Polycarbonate Inner Dome and the 330 DS with Polycarbonate Dome, when used with the Dome

Edge Protection Band, meet requirements for FM Approvals.

UFC-4-010-01: All SolaMaster assemblies meet requirements for United Facilities Criteria (UFC) DoD minimum antiterrorism standard for buildings.

Daylight Dimmer Installation Tips

Install Solatube Daylight Dimmer only on a properly aligned Solatube Daylighting System.

Use only UL recognized components approved for this listing.

Solatube Solamaster® Series Additional Accessories Add more function by upgrading your Solatube Daylighting System with any of these great accessories.

Dome Security Kit This kit consists of three rivets with nylon spacers, which replace dome screws. The dome security kit reduces the possibil-ity of the dome being removed.

Daylight Dimmer Because you don’t need 100% of the light 100% of the time, the innovative Solatube Daylight Dimmer easily controls the amount of daylight entering a room with the convenience of a switch. Our patented variable butterfly baffle controls the light output.

Flashing Insulator This insulating material helps to reduce condensation in cold climates when the flashing is exposed to a humid interior space.

The insulator is affixed to the flashing base and the top tube slips through the opening, which provides a seal between the interi-or and metal flashing.

Open Ceiling Trim Ring For use with the Solatube 330 DS and 750 DS Open Ceiling Configurations. The trim ring provides a finished appearance to the installation.

Security Bar This stainless steel bar insets into the flashing turret across the diameter of the opening. The bar is fastened using rivets and inhibits entry through the dome.
