SYSTEM ASSEMBLY

18. Cold Water Inlet: 52L / RL direct system: Connect the copper cold supply pipe to the shoulder of the

solar cold pipe using the G½ compression nut and copper olive provided.

52H / RLX indirect system: Fit the tank starter pipe assembly to the cold water inlet using the M33

female gland nut and a silicone rubber washer provided.

19. Hot Water Outlet: Fit the M33 Tee to the hot water outlet using a silicone rubber washer provided.

Screw the temperature pressure relief valve into the Tee at the hot water outlet.

Orientate the outlets of the Tee and temperature pressure relief valve toward the rear of the tank and

away from the electrical cover. The hot water pipe work and drain line from the temperature pressure

relief valve must not be installed in front of or prevent access to the electrical cover of the water heater.

20. Protective Film: Peel the protective plastic film from the solar storage tank and the solar collectors. The

protective plastic will bake on and deteriorate if exposed to sunlight, reducing the aesthetics of the

installation and become difficult to remove.

21. Installation Check List: Refer to the “Installation Check List” on page 47 prior to making the plumbing

connections and filling the system with water.

22. Plumbing and Electrical Connections: Refer to “Connections – Plumbing” on page 48 for details on

the cold water and hot water plumbing and “Connections – Electrical” on page 51 for details on the

electrical connection.

Notes:

 Penetrations through the roofing material must be:

 at the high point of the roof tile or metal sheet;

 made neatly and kept as small as practicable;

 waterproofed upon installation of the hot and cold pipes.

 Exposed pipe work between the solar storage tank and the penetrations through the roofing

material should be kept to a minimum to maintain the aesthetics of the installation.

23. Closed Circuit Filling: 52H / RLX indirect system: Refer to “Closed Circuit Fluid” on page 57 for details

on filling the closed circuit with the closed circuit fluid.

Asbestos Roofs

All Occupational Health and Safety matters / procedures must be adhered to in relation to asbestos material.

If safety procedures are not adhered to then terminal illness may result from the handling of asbestos.

Care needs to be taken when fixing straps to asbestos roofs. It is suggested that longer Tek screws are used

to fit securely into purlins.

Pitch roofs - Greater than 30°

The solar water heater must not be installed on a roof with a pitch greater than 45°.

For installations on a roof with a pitch between 30° and 45°, the water heater is to be installed on a With

Pitch frame.
