Collector Cover Installation Procedure

Step 1.

Remove old silicone from top surface of collector flange and collector cover.

Step 2.

Apply ¼" bead of Ultra Copper Silicone around entire collector flange surface. Allow

caulk to “cure” for 10 minutes.

Step 3.

Carefully reinstall collector cover, tighten screws evenly.

Step 4.

Allow a minimum of 6 hours before putting heater back in service.

Apply ¼" bead of Ultra

Copper Silicone around entire

collector flange surface
