connecting
For collector mounting follow the instructions in chapter 2.4. Fasten the
fi
rst collector and lay the following one
next to the
fi
rst one, maintaining a suf
fi
cient gap. Then put on the threaded
fi
ttings and push the collector to the
already mounted one until stop. Hold the
fi
tting with a spanner to prevent turning and tighten the nuts.
Continue in the same way with further collectors.
Put the insulation on the threaded

ttings only after
a successful leak test.
