5.2 Multiple collector vertical connection
When installing multiple collectors, (2 up to 10), component 10.1 is used to connect one
collector to the next. The flow and return connections must be at diagonals to one an-
other as illustrated in Figure 3 and Figure 4. These diagrams highlight the two connec-
tion options available when connecting multiple collectors vertically in an array. When
connecting up to five collectors in an array the flow and return connections can be made
on the same side.

The location of the sensor pockets should be noted upon installation, which is high-
lighted in Figure 3 and Figure 4. The orientation of the middle collector(s) is unimpor-
tant. The collector temperature senor should be installed at the collector flow, (flow to
the cylinder).
