are z brackets meant for mounting to a shingle roof?

They are angled feet for the panels. There are four brackets, with two holes each, so you have eight screws to hold the panel down. For shingles, you might want longer screws and sealant under the four pads.

If paired with a good roof penetration sealant, it should work. Also, you might need longer bolts.

The brackets work best to be attached to a fixed wall or ceiling studs. I'm sure if you "fashioned" something you could make it work. I would make sure it's attached to the joists how ever not the metal pieces that hold the ceiling tiles.

I really can't answer that with accuracy. Mine came with brackets to mount on a round pole as well as the ability to mount on the dual square bars of the typical RV crank up mast. I guess you could always cut the square tubes short and just leave in the up position if you want the antenna nearly flat on the roof. Personally, I want the antenna as high as I can get it.

The bracket simulates the form of a standard rain gutter on older style Auto roofs enabling the use of gutter mount clamps for either Yakima or Thule roof racks. If a "Thule 300 foot" works on gutter mount roofs, then the answer should be yes.

My garage roof is decked with 1/2- inch plywood. Add another 3/8-inch for the thickness of the asphalt shingles and over 1/8-inch for the bracket, and my 1-inch stainless steel screws don't even penetrate the decking. Yeah, I measured first! A dab of good quality silicone caulking on the bottom of the bracket and I was all buttoned up.

Not that I know of but I used it with a ridge vent.......My ridge vent is low with shingles on top and it worked great. I had no issues what so ever.

The mounting brackets on the rack are adjustable for skinny or wide mount on roof bars. The basket also sticks up about 2" above the roof bars.

The mounting brackets are predecessor to match the bolts locations that hold the roof uprights. Just unbolt them and place the bracket and reinstall the bolts. Do one side at a time. It took me about Ten minutes to install both brackets.

only IF it has a roof that will support it, you must drill thru roof to mount rack

I mounted mine on the wall above my garage with extra 2x4s behind the wall for support using the Spalding 316 U-Turn Lift System Bracket. The system "says" it can be used for a roof mount, but I'm not sure.

They mount via a (purchased separately) adhesive. There are several adhesives suggested in the item description: Sikaflex 252, 291 or similar. You need to have a clean, flat surface to mount them on. Apply adhesive, press in place and ideally clamp it (or place something heavy on it for several hours until it sets). The type of roof it works on depends more on the adhesive than on the brackets. As long as the surface is relatively flat so the bracket has something to stick to, then the answer is probably yes. I have glued mine to the metal roof on my RV and they are successfully holding solar panels down.

They are designed to work with either. That is an unusually large diameter for a roof rack, you may need to get longer bolts

I mounted mine on the surface of the roof, under the shingles. It will work as long as the hole is between the beams. The most trouble I had was securing the fan to the roof, half of the mounting bolts are in my gutter, haha.

Here is a link to the one I used. I didn't mount it on the roof, but it says you can: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007U5C2O/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 Scott

I did not use the brackets. Mine is bolted directly to the house underneath the windows. However, I believe the brackets are designed for wooden railing, not metal.

Hey Ray,That is what it is for! It works great and is very durable. When mounting the brackets pay attention to the angle and it will go together good.

I used them in my garage. I used them as a surface mount where porcelain fixtures once were. Not sure what you mean by an open tin ceiling. They do not have a place to use s hooks and jack chain if you want to hang them. They are thin gage steal and I would not screw into the side to mount. . If I needed to attach to a wall I would either use an angle bracket to attach the top of the fixture to the wall or build a shelf and attach to the bottom of it.
