Installing the Solar Collectors
Legend
A Collector connection
B Interconnection pipe qE
C Spacer lip on support brace E
D Rating plate
E Support brace qW
F Clamping brackets qQ
a 9" (230 mm)
IMPORTANT
The top support brace E may be omitted on larger
collector arrays to ensure that the collectors stay aligned
vertically.
5. Position the first collector into the retaining bracket
qP and push right up to the spacer lip of the support
brace. Center the distance when fitting only a single
collector.
IMPORTANT
Install the collector panel so that the rating plate side of
the first and last collector is on the outside (note sticker)!
If only one collector is to be installed, connect the piping
opposite the nameplate side. See page 30 for more
information.
6. Before inserting interconnection pipe B mark the
middle of the interconnection pipe with a marker or a
piece of tape for reference. Insert the interconnecting
pipe B into the collector until the brass section is no
longer visible.
7. Secure the support brace qQ to the next collector
support 1 using the clamping brackets qP between
the second and third, the fourth and fifth supports, etc.

IMPORTANT
Interconnection pipes should not show any signs of
damage.
Lubricate all plug-in connectors (O-rings) found on the
collectors only with the special grease supplied with the
connection set.
8. Click clamping brackets F into the collector edge
at the top of all supports.
9. Carefully push the next collector up to the collector
that was just installed. Insert the supply and return
interconnection pipes B (top and bottom) into the
collector headers. Carefully push the collector up
to the spacer lip C of the support brace qW. Visually
inspect the interconnection pipes B to ensure that
they are centered between the two collectors.
10. The distance between collectors should be no greater
than the width of the spacer lip C on the support
brace which is 1a" (32.8 mm).
11. Tighten all bolts.
12. Fit a snow guard on the roof above the collectors,
as required.
