For information regarding the routing of pipework
between the components (collectors, solar pump station,
solar cylinder), see the "Solar pump station" installation
instructions.
Connecting pipework
The hydraulic connections to the individual pipes under
the roof are made using the 1 m long flexible connection
pipes. These can be bent a maximum of 90°.
