Roof Assembly Of Solar Collectors; Collector Straps 4 - Rheem NPT 200 Installation Instructions Manual

ROOF ASSEMBLY OF SOLAR COLLECTORS

Notes:

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.

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 NPT200 solar collectors, such as
on a building site, the packaging material may be removed whether or not the
collector circuit is connected to the solar storage tank and / or the solar water
heater is commissioned.
The solar collector packaging must be removed completely prior to the
permanent operation of the water heater.

All connectors, end plugs, 'O' rings, brass fittings, collector straps and
collector angle 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.

Screws to secure the collector straps and collector angle to the solar
collectors must not be longer than 15 mm. Suitable screws are provided in
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. Fittings with an O-ring 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.
