What is a Curb Adapter?

Well let's start out by explaining what a curb is, or more accurately what a roof curb is.

The history or etymology of the word curb tells us that the origin comes from a strap used to hold back a horse. By pulling on said strap, the horses neck would be bent, or curved. In today's meaning the holding back actually has more importance than the curve or bend in many situations.

The most common example is a road curb. But the curb that we will be discussing here is an enclosing framework. A roof curb is an enclosing framework used to create an opening in a roof. The roof curb is also used to support the weight of the equipment that will be placed on the curb.

A Curb Adapter is a device used to transition from the existing curb dimensions to the dimensions of the new equipment.
