Vaillant flat collectors are available in different versions:
A variant for the horizontal collector position (VFK H)
and a variant for the vertical collector position (VFK V).
The instructions apply to multi-row in-roof mounting of
Vaillant flat collectors. In this instance, a collector array
is integrated into the roof.
The collectors are arranged on top of and next to one
another:
– 2 to 12 collectors next to one another,
– 2 or more collectors on top of one another
(depending on roof height).
Furthermore, with the VFK H it is only possible to mount
two collectors on top of one another.
Generally, the installation steps and the instructions
described in this manual are valid for both collector
positions and for all array arrangements.
Any different installation steps are clearly pointed out:
