SOLAR INLET AND OUTLET
All pipe work must be cleared of foreign matter before connection and purged before attempting to operate the
water heater. All olive compression fittings must use brass or copper olives. Use an approved thread sealant
such as Teflon tape on all sealing threads.
The solar cold outlet and solar hot inlet connections are located at the top of the solar storage tank.
Notes:

It is important not to cross connect the solar hot and solar cold pipes to the incorrect connections.
The solar cold pipe connects to the bottom of the solar collectors and the solar hot pipe connects to

the top of the solar collectors on the opposite side to both the solar cold pipe connection and the hot
sensor connection.
The solar hot inlet connection is located in the centre of the top of the solar storage tank (the

connection is marked by a label on top of the storage tank).
The solar cold outlet connection is located at a corner of the top of the solar storage tank (the

connection is marked by a label on top of the storage tank).
