SECURING PANELS TO THE ROOF
Panels are secured to the roof using S Roof Mounting Pads (Cat. Num.1203100). As a general rule of thumb
allow 3 pads per panel, 2 at the upper end and one at the bottom. For steep roofs or windy regions, use 4
units per panel, 2 at the upper end and 2 at the lower end.

PIPES AND OTHER FITTINGS
This section deals with pipes and other fittings you will need, that are not supplied by Magen eco-energy.
PIPES
Use only pressure rated pipe with temperature resistance of up to 90
o
C (194
o
F). Make sure that the pipes
are UV resistant where subjected to UV radiation, otherwise use UV protection or a cover. For open loop
installations use only pipes that are certified for drinking water contact. Optional pipe materials are: CPVC,
PEX, PPR.
FITTINGS
Use only pressure and high temperature rated fittings to match the selected pipes. Connections must follow
manufacturer instructions and training if necessary.
Important:
Do not use “plumbers” fittings or DWV fittings (Drain, Waste and Vent). Use a quality
brand name product and follow the manufacturer’s directions for use on the product label.
Important:
If you cannot obtain black pipes & fittings, and wish to spray paint the fittings black, be
sure to use high quality paint, preferably with UV inhibitors.
