Roof Assembly Of Solar Collectors - Rheem 12104793 Installation Instructions Manual

ROOF ASSEMBLY OF SOLAR COLLECTORS

Notes:

Warning: This parts kit shall not be used with J, KF or T200 steel
collectors. Use only with collectors which have copper waterways and
conetite style connections.

These solar collectors have passed the AS/NZS 2712 requirements for
resistance to hailstone damage, so it is not normally necessary to fit a guard
to a collector. Stone Guards are available to provide a level of protection to
the collectors against vandalism or accidental damage. Refer to your local
Solar Distributor for details.

The manufacturer's warranty DOES NOT cover breakage of solar collector
glass. Check your insurance policy covers collector glass breakage.
Warning: No attempt should be made to remove or replace broken
collector glass.
The collector glass is not offered as a replacement part. Should the solar
collector require replacement, contact your local Solar Distributor for details.

Warning: Do not remove the solar collector packaging completely, prior
to the installation as the solar collector surface can become very hot. Remove
only sufficient packaging material to enable the installation of the solar
collectors.
Upon completion of the installation of the solar collectors with conetite fittings,
such as on a building site, the packaging material may be removed whether
or not the solar circuit is connected to the solar storage tank and / or the solar
water heater is commissioned, without damage to the solar collectors.
The solar collector packaging must be removed completely prior to the
permanent operation of the water heater.

All connectors, unions, end plugs, brass fittings, collector straps and collector
rails required for the installation are included with the collector kit. Suitable
screws or anchors will be required to fix the collector straps to the rafters for
a pitched roof installation.

Clamps, screws, washers and nuts to secure the solar collector(s) to the
collector rails are included with the collector kit.

All olive compression fittings must use brass or copper olives. Use an
approved thread sealant such as Teflon tape on all other threaded joints.
Conetite fittings do not require a thread sealant.

Roof Condition: Check the condition of the roof and advise the client of any
broken tiles or damaged roof sheeting before commencing the installation.
