Hello Wrenches, Pulling up this thread from earlier in the year. I have a couple of upcoming jobs where I am attaching PV mounting structure as follows Job 1) LFoot to metal roof into Z purlin, and Job 2) FastJack to metal roof into bar joist.
In both of the applications I'm considering the Tek screw type attachment to the building steel. Both the L foot and FastJack are sized for a 5/16 - 3/8 lag or bolt. Most of the self tappers I see are 1/4" max diameter. Should I be concerned about the undersized fit of the fastener in the mounting attachment or are there large Tek type screws out there I'm not finding? Does anyone have pullout strengths for this type of attachment?
