    摘要: A kit for flashing a mount of a photovoltaic assembly on a surface includes a flashing assembly. The flashing assembly includes flashing that extends across an interface of the mount and the surface when the mount is attached to the surface. The flashing includes a bottom surface and a top surface. The flashing assembly also includes tape attached to the bottom surface of the flashing. The tape includes a first attachment area and a second attachment area. The flashing assembly has a first configuration in which the first attachment area is attached to the flashing and the second attachment area is unattached, and a second configuration in which the first attachment area is attached to the flashing and the second attachment area is attached to the surface. The tape is movable with the flashing as an assembly when the flashing assembly is in the first configuration. The first attachment area and the second attachment area positioned on opposite sides of the tape such that the tape extends between the surface and the bottom surface of the flashing when the tape is in the second configuration. The kit also includes a container defining an interior space to receive the flashing assembly.

    摘要: An insertion tool for use with a cable management cavity includes a grip for a user to grasp the insertion tool. The grip has a longitudinal axis. The insertion tool also includes an insertion flange extending from the grip. The insertion flange includes a first end attached to the grip and a second end shaped to contact a cable. The insertion flange is sized to fit within the cable management cavity and insert the cable into the cable management cavity to a desired depth. The insertion flange has a length defined between the first end and the second end in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The length is selected to allow the insertion flange to insert the cable into the cable management cavity to the desired depth.
