Covering the roof Tiled roof cover Fig. 14 Trim the tiles to size or use half-sized tiles, as required. Please note Remove tile head which rests on the side panel. The diagonal sealing strip must be completely hidden. It may be necessary to trim the height of the diagonal sealing strip with a knife.
Covering the roof (cont.) Note The last Nocky panel in the top right is a left-hand one (see page 7). The last Nocky panel in the top left is a right-hand one (see page 7). Covering the collector array Commission the solar thermal system as quickly as Note possible once the collectors have been installed.
Soft solder could be weakened, particularly near the collectors, due to the high temperatures that occur there. Metal seal connections, locking ring fittings or Viessmann plug-in connections with double O-rings are the most suitable. If other seals such as flat gaskets are used, ade- quate glycol, pressure and temperature stability must be guaranteed by the manufacturer.
