3.5 Installation of tubes Unscrew the black end cups from the mounting rings, and clip the rings into the bottom rail spacing them out evenly. (See figure 3.14) Fig 3.14 Apply the thermal paste provided liberally to the tip of the copper heat pipes protruding from each evacuated tube. - Page 19 Fig 3.16 Screw the black end cup into the mounting ring and tighten until hand tight. Repeat the process until all the tubes are in place. (See figure 3.16). Fig 3.17 See figure 3.17 for detail of the completed collector.

angle will enhance winter output. 13. Wind and snow load When installing the collector please consider the issue of wind resistance and the resulting stress on the attachment points. The standard frame is designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 120km/h and 30cm snow accumulation without damage. - Page 26 15. Standing Frame – Flat Roof Kit (FRK) 15.1 Variants The standing frame is designed to attach to the solar panel thus creating an A-frame type arrangement. The kit consists of Legs, Feet, Back Cross supports and Side supports. Each panel has its own type of standing frame; therefore, when ordering please ensure you have identified the correct item.
- Page 27 Attach the legs using the nuts, bolts and washers provided. Note - 3 legs and 4 back cross supports for 30 tube panels. Fit the support 2 feet the standing legs and 2 feet to the bottom side supports of the solar panel frame.
- Page 28 Using the nuts, bolts and washers provided, fit the leg assembly to the collector and attach leg side supports to the panel frame. Note – 3 leg side supports for 30 tube panels.
