ANCILLERY INSTALLATION
Drain Down Tube
The Drain Tube allows the supply pipe to slowly drain
back via the return pipe when the pump is switched
off.
To install, mark a location on both the supply and
return pipework, approximately 1
– 1.5m above the
pump level against the wall. Drill 8.5mm holes in the
pipes, using an 8.5mm Drill Bit.
It is highly recommended that you drill a small pilot
hole first, then drill the holes by running the drill in
reverse to minimise the risk of pipe shatter. Using a
blunted drill bit is also preferable. Clean the drill swarf
and burrs.
Lubricate the and insert the rubber grommets.
Lubricate the grommets and insert the header barbs.
Lubricate and slide the tube over the barbs.
TufGauge Pressure Gauge
To Install, screw the enclosed brass barb onto the
thread at the back of the Pressure Gauge using
Teflon sealing tape and two open end spanners (14
A/F & 16 A/F).
Drill an 8.5 mm hole in the PVC supply pipe and
clean the hole of any debris. Insert the tapered end of
the rubber grommet into the hole.
Lubricate the brass barb and insert it into the rubber
grommet, ensuring full engagement. Ensure the
pressure is between 1 and 100 kPa / 15 psi (top fed
systems 50 kPa / 7 psi max.).
STEP 7:
Go to the end of the installed strips (known as
the Loop Return) and fold the strip in on itself. This will
allow the system to sit lower and neater to the roof. Apply
a small quantity of Prosil under the loop return to secure
it. Repeat the process for all looped returns.
