B

 

FKB-SOL

 systems are delivered on a single pallet. 

The actual contents of the pallet differs according to the 

number of collectors in the system, the type of roof fixing 

system (parallel to roof or 45°), the capacity of the solar 

storage cylinder and expansion vessel, the head of the 

water pump and the volume of anti-freeze.

Pallet contents:

 - Individually packaged collectors with data plate

 - Vitrified, double coil, solar storage cylinder

 - Pre-assembled return valve group complete with 

solar controller

 - Anti-freeze, contained in one or two cans

 - Expansion vessel, pipe and fitting for connection to 

the safety system

The following items are supplied in a cardboard box:

 - Storage cylinder connections

 - Connecting pipes to the solar storage cylinder

 - Thermostatic mixer valve

The following items are delivered in a plastic bag inside the 

packaging:

 - Instruction manual, spare parts catalogue and 

hydraulic test certificate

 - Bar code label

 - Serial number plate

 - Energy label

 

b

Take care not to lose the two flat seal rings (1) located in 
the corner profiles of each collector.

 

b

This instruction manual is an integral part of the 

FKB-

SOL

 system. Once located, read it thoroughly and 

keep it safe.

 

b

STORE IN A DRY PLACE AND DO NOT EXPOSE TO 
DIRECT SUNLIGHT UNTIL THE TIME OF INSTALLATION!

 

The packaging is not designed to protect the product 

against rain or humidity. It can also degrade if 

exposed to direct sunlight. Failure to comply with 

these precautions could lead to irreparable damage 

to the product.

 

b

A protective film is applied to the glass of the solar 
collector. On completion of installation, only remove 
this film if you are going to put the system into service 
immediately.
