ABSTRACT:
A watertight mounting system for keeping objects, such as climate control devices, solar panels, etc., above a roof deck. The system has a deck mount with a flat plate for fastening directly to the roof deck and a coupling joint with an insertion opening for receiving an elongate joining member by its bottom end. A supporting means or element is attached to the top end of the elongate member. Preferably, the supporting means is a U-shaped channel and is attached to the elongate member by a swivelable cap. The U-shaped channel receives an object framework, preferably made up of beams, which upholds the object. This allows the user to orient the supporting means parallel with the horizontal and thus maintain objects level on a pitched roof deck. The lower portion of the elongate member is tightly enveloped by a flashing to provide a watertight seal between the elongate member and the flashing. The lower portion of the flashing covers the deck mount and is attached to the roof deck in a watertight manner.
