local codes and regulatory authority requirements. In New Zealand, the
installation must conform with Clause G12 of the New Zealand Building

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.

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.

solar collectors.
Upon completion of the installation of the NPT200 solar collectors the
packaging material may be removed, whether or not the solar circuit is
connected to the solar storage tank and / or the solar water heater is
commissioned.

collector rails required for the installation are included with the collector kit.
Suitable screws or anchors will be required to fix the collector straps to the
