12. Repair Procedures
NOTE: The UniverSol Replacement Kit is a very durable product,
but there are a few steps you should take to protect its longevity.
(1) Try to avoid walking on the collectors. If you cannot avoid it, always wear soft-soled shoes.
(2) Do not install the collectors during temperatures lower than 35 degrees.
If any of the riser tube in the UniverSol collector should become damaged for any
reason, it can be repaired using the (2-3020-029) repair tool kit and (2-1120-001)
repair plugs. The repair tool kit consists of a 1/4" repair chisel, an insert tool,
and a (PVC) carrying case. Follow instructions for repair:
1.
Utilizing the repair chisel, cut the damaged riser as close as
possible to the header carefully avoiding damaging adjacent riser.
(The sloped side of the chisel should face away from the header).
2.
Spray the shaft of the insert tool and the rubber insert with silicone spray. Insert
the insert tool into the rubber insert. By holding the rubber insert with one hand
and the insert tool with the other, gently stretch the rubber insert. As you do,
push the rubber insert all of the way into the header's opening. Stretching
the rubber insert first allows for easier insertion into the header.
3.
Pull out the rubber insert tool. Using your fingers or channel-lock
pliers, push a poly-insert into the rubber insert as far as you can.
4.
Cut the riser tube to the desired length and slide it over
the stub of the poly-insert for a straight, eye pleasing fit.
5.
REPEAT steps 1-4 for the other end of the riser tube. (At the opposite header).
