Kingspan Varisol DF, Installation Manual

Page: 7 / 32

The modular design of the Varisol collector means that any number of tubes can be
assembled to make up the required collector size. Since the mounting kit cross rails
are only supplied in 10, 20 and 30 tube sizes it is necessary to cut the rails to length if
an intermediate sized collector is required. The table below gives the required length
of rail for each given size. Burrs and sharp edges should be removed.
Examples:
❱
To make an 18 tube collector simply take a 20-way rail and cut to 1281mm.
❱
To make a 44 tube collector join a standard 20-way rail to a 24-way, the 24-way being
made by cutting a 30-way rail to 1708mm.
❱
In the case of a sloping roof mounted collector, the available rafter spacing should be
considered when sizing the collector to ensure that an appropriate side rail spacing can
be achieved.
