GENERAL INSTALLATION RULES ATTENTION! Installation must be in compliance with local & national rules concerning water and electrical instal- lations (plumbing, electricity, hygiene, urban and others). The solar system’s packaging must be removed at the site of installation in order to protect the device from shocks during its transportation, making sure that the collectors are not supported on their pipe joints.
Solar water heaters Piping: the routing of the piping and cabling must be agreed upon between the installer and the client, so as to ensure the proper installation of the solar system in compliance with local rules concerning water and electrical installations. Make sure that the tubes connecting the storage tank with the collector and the piping to/from the water heater are insulated in such a way that they can withstand temperatures covering the range of: -30°C to 120°C.
GENERAL PREVENTION MEASURES • Please respect the instructions related to accidents prevention and the safety rules during the installation of the solar thermal systems as well as the piping. • Please keep the work place clear and free of objects obstructing the execution of works. •...
