Operation Installation Manual

Low Profile Roof Mounted

Solar Hot Water Systems 

This system shall be installed in accordance with:

•  Manufacturer’s Installation Instructions
•  Current  AS/NZS 3500 

 

•  All applicable local rules and regulations including local OH&S requirements

This system must be installed, commissioned and serviced  by an Authorised Person.

Not suitable as a pool or spa heater.

The solar hot and solar cold pipes between the solar storage tank  
and the solar collector(s) must be copper tube.  Fittings used to
join these pipes must use metallic materials to acheive sealing. 
Plastic pipe and fittings must not be used as they are not suitable
 for the high temperatures and pressures that may occur. 
Failure of plastic pipe and/or fittings can lead to the release of high 
temperature water and can cause sever flooding and water damage.

IMPORTANT

This system is fully certified in its own right. Given the unique nature of the 
installation for this system it is reccomended to discuss any additional site 
requirements with the site Building Inspector / Surveyor.
