Installation manual

5.3 Connecting the panel

5.3.1 Do not use plastic pipes.

5.3.2 Connect the 10mm solar panel return pipe to the elbow. Connect the 8mm

solar panel flow pipe to the T-piece, feeding this pipe through the black

grommet of the connection plate. Use compression fittings.

5.3.3 Make sure that all pipes are protected by the roof insulation, using fibreglass

and tape the back of the panel with aluminium tape. Do not use PUP foam.

5.3.4 Insulate the panel flow and return pipes with material with an inside diameter

of 10mm which is able to resist temperatures up to 175

C (HT Armaflex –

intermittent rating).

5.3.5 Make sure that the pipes are well supported, using suitable clips.

5.4 Connecting the Domestic water circuit (See also the diagrams in Section 10)

NOTE

As it is possible for the water from the MonoSolar to reach 85

C, it is essential

that a thermostatic mixing valve is included in the domestic water circuit.

5.4.1 Ensure your domestic water supply is mains pressure. Flush the pipes before

connecting them. Connect the water supply to the cold water inlet of the

MonoSolar system, using 15mm pipe fed through the blue grommet of the

connection plate.

5.4.2 Connect the hot water outlet of the MonoSolar to the cold-water inlet of the

boiler (or tank as shown in Section 10), using 15mm pipe fed through the red

grommet of the connection plate. All Atmos Multi and Atmos Compact boilers

are compatible. Seek your Supplier’s advice for other appliances.

5.4.3 Tighten all connections and fill up the system. Check all connections for

leakage.
