SOLAR HOT AND SOLAR COLD PIPE CONNECTIONS
Refer to "System Assembly"
solar hot and solar cold pipes.
Roof area required (excluding service and access space):
300 litre x 2 collectors
180 litre x 1 collector
Notes:
All plumbing work must be carried out by a qualified person and in accordance with the requirements of
the Standard AS/NZS 3500.4, and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements. In New
Zealand, the installation must conform with Clause G12 of the New Zealand Building Code.
Pipe work, including that within the roof space, is to be securely fixed to prevent vibration.
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.
The Rheem warranty DOES NOT cover breakage of solar collector glass. Check your 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. Remove only sufficient packaging material to enable the
installation of the solar collectors.
Upon completion of the installation of the solar water heater the packaging material may be removed
from the S200 solar collectors, whether or not the solar water heater is commissioned.
The solar collector packaging must be removed completely prior to the permanent operation of the water
heater.
All connectors, end plugs, „washers, brass fittings, collector straps, collector angle and temperature
pressure relief valve required for the installation are included with the pipe kit.
Suitable screws or anchors will be required to fix the collector straps to the rafters for a pitched roof
installation.
Warning: Where straps, frames, etc. are secured to roof members, all fixings must be of an
appropriate type to suit the type of member. Inadequate or inappropriate fixings may result in straps
becoming unsecured and the installation of the solar hot water system becoming unsafe.
Use thread sealing tape or an approved thread sealant on all but the conetite fittings.
If the solar storage tank is being installed with existing solar collectors, then utilise the existing
temperature pressure relief valve, fittings and pipes used on the installation.
