Fastensol Pan Tile Roof Hook (Portrait) TH01 — Stainless Steel Solar Mounting Hook
The Fastensol Pan Tile Roof Hook (Portrait) — TH01 is a substantial stainless steel bracket that secures Fastensol mounting rails to the roof structure beneath pan tile and concrete tile roof coverings, for solar arrays in portrait orientation. It is one of the most widely used hooks in the Fastensol range, suited to the majority of standard UK concrete-tiled residential roofs. Like all Fastensol pitched-roof hooks, the TH01 is fitted by removing a small number of tiles, fixing the hook directly to the rafter pointing downhill with the tek screws provided, and then replacing the tiles around the hook body for a discreet, weatherproof finish. Stainless Steel Material Portrait Orientation Pan / Concrete Tile Type 60 m/s Wind Load 2.0 kN/m² Snow Load 12 yr Product Warranty Installation Method To fit, a few tiles are removed from the outside of the roof and the hook secured to a rafter pointing 'downhill' with the tek screws provided. Plywood padding can be used to ensure the correct spacing from the tile surface, and the tiles are simply replaced around the hook to ensure a weatherproof finish. Professional Installation Required Installation of Fastensol mounting components must be carried out only by professionally trained installers. It is the installer's responsibility to verify the structural integrity of the roof or substructure the system is fixed to — rotten, rusted, undersized, or excessively spaced rafters are not suitable and installation on such structures will void the warranty. Key Features Purpose-Built for Pan & Concrete Tiles Shaped specifically to sit correctly beneath pan tile and concrete tile roof coverings — one of the most common residential roofing profiles in the UK. Substantial Stainless Steel Construction Manufactured as a substantial stainless steel bracket, providing long-term corrosion resistance and structural reliability across the full 12-year product warranty. Direct Rafter Fixing Fixes directly to the rafter with the tek screws provided, giving a solid load path for wind and snow forces into the roof structure. Portrait Orientation Support Designed specifically for arrays mounted with panels in portrait orientation, positioning the mounting rail correctly for this layout. Weatherproof, Tile-Concealed Fit Once fitted, tiles are replaced around the hook, keeping the fixing largely hidden and preserving a weathertight roof line. MCS 012 Certified System Part of the MCS 012-certified Fastensol pitched roof mounting system, supporting compliant UK grid-connected solar installations.

For flat, plain or rosemary tiles use the TH02; for slate roofs use the TH04; and for adjustable concrete interlocking tiles use the TH05.What is the difference between TH01 and TH06?Both hooks suit pan tile / concrete tile roofs, but TH01 is the portrait orientation version, while TH06 is the landscape orientation version — choose based on your intended panel layout.How is the TH01 roof hook installed?A few tiles are removed at the marked fixing positions, and the hook is secured directly to the rafter pointing downhill using the tek screws provided. Plywood padding can be used to set correct spacing before the tiles are replaced around the hook.How many roof hooks will I need for my array?Roof hooks should be positioned at intervals of no more than 1.2 metres along each rail, so the total number needed depends on the length of your rail runs — as a guide, a pair of 3550mm rails typically needs at least 3 hooks per rail.Can I use this with mounting rails or clamps from another brand? No. Fastensol components are engineered as a matched system, and mixing Fastensol hardware with mounting equipment from other suppliers is not supported and will void the warranty. Always use genuine Fastensol rails, clamps, hooks and splices together as a complete system.What warranty does this product carry?Fastensol backs this product with a 12-year product warranty against defects in material and workmanship, plus a 5-year finish warranty on the anodised coating, from Xiamen Fasten Solar Technology Co., Ltd. The finish warranty is void if the component is not cleaned and maintained in line with AAMA 609 & 610-02 guidance for architecturally finished aluminium, and the full warranty is void if the product is modified, installed incorrectly, or mixed with another manufacturer's mounting hardware.
