FIT THE SOLAR CYLINDER - Figs. 11a, 11b and 11c
The cylinder must be installed on a flat vertical wall which
is capable of supporting the weight of the full cylinder
(see Section 2.3). The cylinder should be secured to the
wall using the mounting brackets supplied.
Note:
If the positions of
all
the fixing holes for the brackets
cannot be made into solid brickwork, then the standard
brackets
must not
be used. In this case the use of two rails,
from the floor to the ceiling, is recommended (e.g. Flamco
rails).
1.
Decide on the position of the cylinder, taking into
consideration the clearances and the maximum
allowed distances from the drain back unit and
collector.
2.
Using the template supplied, mark the positions of the
fixing holes. Drill the holes approximately 60 mm deep
using a 10 mm dia. drill.
All the holes must be into
solid brickwork.
3.
Plug the holes and secure the top and bottom mounting
brackets to the wall, using the plugs and screws
supplied.
4.
Position the cylinder onto the bottom bracket ensuring
the sides of the bracket (B) are located into the grooves
in the cylinder (A), see Fig. 11b. Carefully slide the
cylinder towards the wall, making sure that the plastic
pins at the bottom of the cylinder are fully located over
the bottom bracket.
Note:
Ensure that the cylinder is positioned squarely on
the bottom bracket before pushing it back towards the
wall.
5.
Secure the top of the cylinder to the top mounting bracket using closing bracket as shown in Fig. 11c.
