The attachment block includes a monolithic body defining a receiving surface, a recessed portion defined by the monolithic body, an opening defined in the recessed portion of the monolithic body, and a clip attachment portion defined in the monolithic body.

Claims (34)

1 . A mounting device comprising:

an attachment block, the attachment block comprising:

a monolithic body defining a receiving surface;

a recessed portion extending into the receiving surface and defined by the monolithic body, the recessed portion comprising a top surface and a bottom surface;

an opening defined in the top surface of the recessed portion of the monolithic body;

a clip attachment portion defined in the receiving surface adjacent to the recessed portion; and

a seal coupled to the bottom surface of the recessed portion,

wherein the recessed portion comprises at least one drain port defined in a perimeter of the recessed portion, the at least one drain port configured to facilitate water drainage from the recessed portion and the top surface thereof.

2 . The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the clip attachment portion comprises a recessed track.

3 . The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the clip attachment portion comprises at least one opening.

4 . The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the clip attachment portion comprises a plurality of openings.

5 . The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the clip attachment portion comprises at least one dimple.

6 . The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the clip attachment portion comprises a plurality of dimples.

7 . The mounting device of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of dimples are arranged in a single row parallel to a center axis (A).

8 . The mounting device of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of dimples are arranged in two or more rows parallel to a center axis (A).

9 . The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the opening is threaded.

10 . The mounting device of claim 1 , further comprising a mount fastener removably coupleable with the opening.

11 . The mounting device of claim 10 , wherein the mount fastener is a screw.

12 . The mounting device of claim 10 , wherein the mount fastener is threadedly engageable with the opening.

13 . A system for mounting a structure to a roof, the system comprising:

a mounting device having an attachment block, the attachment block comprising:

a monolithic body defining a receiving surface;

a recessed portion extending into the receiving surface and defined by the monolithic body, the recessed portion comprising a top surface and a bottom surface;

an opening defined in the top surface of the recessed portion of the monolithic body;

a clip attachment portion defined in the receiving surface, adjacent to the recessed portion;

a seal coupled to the bottom surface of the recessed portion; and

a clip removably coupled to the mounting device,

wherein the recessed portion comprises at least one drain port defined in a perimeter of the recessed portion, the at least one drain port configured to facilitate water drainage from the recessed portion and the top surface thereof.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the clip is rotatable 360° about the mounting device.

15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the clip is a single monolithic structure.

16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the structure is conduit.

17 . The system of claim 13 , further comprising a clip fastener removably engageable with the clip attachment portion, wherein the clip fastener is threadedly engageable with the clip and the clip attachment portion of the mounting device, wherein the clip fastener is a self-drilling screw, wherein the clip is rotatable 360 ° about the clip fastener, and wherein the clip fastener is a bolt.
