FIELD

More specifically, the invention relates to providing the system for sealing structural attachments for solar panel mounts for rail guides.

SUMMARY

The system utilizes an adhesive sealant to create a permanent watertight seal at any surface penetration. The system may be used for any structural attachment, fastener, mount, or other penetration that requires sealing. Typical building applications include roof penetrations and wall penetrations for cases such as roof vents, structural attachment, conduit or pipe penetrations, or electrical mounts to name a few.

The system allows the user to fasten or place any attachment over the penetration point. Sealant is then injected under pressure using, by way of example, a sealant dispenser gun, into an enclosed cavity around the penetration. The force from the sealant dispenser gun increases the pressure inside the enclosed cavity and forces all the air out through a vent hole. This ensures that the sealant completely fills all the voids and removes the air inside the enclosed cavity around the penetration. Variations of the preferred embodiment are also provided.

The system creates a permanent airtight and watertight seal that does more than just shed water around the attachment. The system also eliminates the need for standard flashing and assemblies, which may reduce installation costs. The system also eliminates the need to break the manufacturer's seal on the leading edge of roof shingles and eliminates the risk of removing nails on upper courses of shingles, which creates additional penetrations in the roof thereby making the structure more vulnerable to leaks.

The above provides the reader with a very brief summary of some embodiments described below. Simplifications and omissions are made, and the summary is not intended to limit or define in any way the disclosure. Rather, this brief summary merely introduces the reader to some aspects of some embodiments in preparation for the detailed description that follows.
