Collector Supply and Return Piping
For the piping connecting the
H
collectors to the Solar Divicon
pumping station, Viessmann
recommends the use of commercial
copper pipe and bronze fittings, or
non-galvanized steel pipe. (PEX or
other plastic pipes are not suitable for
solar collector supply and return
piping).
Installation of collectors, single-sided
connection, max. 10 collectors.

Use only high temperature solder or
H
brazing material when connecting the
copper pipes in the collector piping.
The melting temperature should be
above 450°F / 232°C.
When laying out the collector array,
H
ensure that the system can "breathe"
properly. Do not route pipes above the
collector array.
