Roof Mounted Tower/Stack Securement

A stack is a lever, and wind is what pulls on it. The taller the run, the harder it works on whatever holds it down. The usual answer is guy wire tied to a block, a curb, or another piece of equipment. Roof Mounted Tower/Stack Securement guys the stack back to U-Anchor® bases, so the load lands on engineered attachment points. The U-Anchor® is a component of the roof, not something sitting on top of it.

The assembly from every angle

An elevated stack secured to 2000 Series U-Anchors.

How it works

It starts with a U-Anchor®, a component of the roof, sealed watertight at the point of attachment. Everything else connects your equipment to that one point.

Available configurations
The anchor
2000 Series

The part that carries the load. A galvanized steel plate with rolled edges that protect the membrane sits under a cover membrane matched to the roofing brand, type, and color, leaving a stainless stud at the surface for everything else to bolt to. Which one you use is decided by the membrane on the building, not by the equipment.

The kit

What connects your equipment to that stud. Supplied with the solution, and sold on its own where a job needs more of them.

The fittings

Collar, Existing stack (by others) — fitted to the equipment itself rather than to the roof.

Why it works

WATERTIGHT
Every attachment point sets on a U-Anchor® base with a Compression-Free™ seal, so the roof assembly and its warranty stay intact. No ballast blocks holding guy wire, and nothing tied off to equipment that wasn't meant to carry it.
ENGINEERED
Attachment points placed and rated for the stack they hold. Guy wire runs to bases set around the run, so wind load transfers into engineered attachments instead of a curb, a block, or a neighboring unit.
PROVEN
Installed on commercial roofs nationwide, across every common membrane. The same attachment method carrying pipe and equipment on those roofs holds the stack.
