Monodraught Square Sunpipe Installation Instructions Manual

Installation Instructions

1. Roof Level Trimming Requirements

Establish the position in which the SUNPIPE is to be
installed and remove the tiles or slates from around
the area.

Form a clear trimmed
opening of 570 mm
high by 470 mm wide.
Note that the top edge
of the lower trimming
batten should be
located 90 mm from
the lower roof tiles.

2. Unpacking the Rooflight Components

Carefully lay the box
containing the rooflight
onto the floor and
open. For a slate roof
installation, remove the
foam wedge located on
the front of the flashing
plate.

3. Locating the Rooflight on the Roof

Lift the rooflight to the
desired location on
the roof.

This should be
positioned to allow the
four metal brackets to
the inside face of the
side trusses.

The lower lead
flashing is to overlap
the roof tiles located
just below the roof
light opening.

4. Fixing the Rooflight

With the rooflight face
down to the floor, unfold
the lead flashing along
the lower edge so that it
is flat. Located on each
of the two long sides
of the rooflight are two
metal brackets. Fold each
of these up so that they
are at a 90° angle to the
flashing plate.

Using suitable screws
(supplied by others) secure
each of the four metal
brackets to the side trusses.

Once secure, use your hand
or a rubber mallet to mold
the lead flashing plate to
match the profile of the roof
tiles.

For a slate roof, gently flatten
the lower lead flashing to the
top of the roof slates using
your hand.

5. Finishing the Lead Flashing

Bend the two top corners of the lead flashing in
toward the rooflight to protect from weather ingress.

7. Installing the SUNPIPE Transition

Care must be taken when handling the SUNPIPE, as
the edges may be sharp.

Take each of the two aluminium transition pieces
and carefully push through the opening.

The top edge of the
transition unit should align
with the top of the wooden
frame of the rooflight.

Using the four 15 mm long
screws secure the transition
in place through the
transition into the wooden
frame in the center of each
side.

6. Replacing the Roof Tiles

Carefully replace the roof
tiles or slates around the
flashing plate.

On each side, ensure
the tiles do not overlap
the weathering upstand
protruding from the
flashing.

For a profile tile roof, fold
the foam wedge down and
away from the rooflight and
fit the tiles.

Note: the tiles may require
some trimming to suit
re-installation.

Along the top of the flashing
the lower edge of the slate
tiles should rest on top of
the weathering upstand,
leaving an 8 cm gap to the
rooflight edge.

Using the clear mastic from
above, seal the gap between
the transition and the
wooden frame.

Wipe away any excess.

The rooflight must now be
screwed shut using the two
25 mm long screws and two
rubber washers supplied.

Hold the external frame down into position and
screw through the lower edge frame into the inner
frame, ensuring the rubber washer is located
between the screw head and the frame to prevent
water ingress.

Take care not to damage the leading edge of the
transition unit and then connect up the SUNPIPE
length and elbow of the SUNPIPE system to suit
the desired location following the appropriate
instructions set out earlier in the general SUNPIPE
installation instructions.

Continue with the installation of the remainder of
the SUNPIPE system, as the Pitched Roof SUNPIPE

Installation Instructions.
