Couplings
The solar collectors must be connected using the appropriate
couplings which
Sime
provides depending on the types of in-
stallation.
Description
Connection kit for the forced-circulation solar heating system
for connecting solar connectors, made up of:
– bronze couplings;
– special three-piece spherical brass unions with metal seal
(excluding kit for 1 collector);
– relief valve with sealed shut-off device up to 200°C;
– copper thermowell (for the first battery).
2.4.2
Fixing systems
For fastening the collectors,
Sime
provides the following types
of frames: parallel to the pitch and above the tiles, built into the
tiles and for flat roofs.
2.4.2.1 Assembling collectors parallel to the roof pitch
and above the tiles (.1-6 FA)
Application suggestions: the choice of positioning solar col-
lectors parallel to the roof pitch privileges visual appeal over
winter performance.
Description
Aluminium support frame for pitched roofs, attached under
the tiles (therefore without perforating the tiles themselves) on
roofs with brick and concrete or wooden covering, pre-drilled
and complete with bolts to be mounted on-site.
2.4.2.2 Assembling collectors parallel to the roof pitch
and built into the tiles (1-6 I)
Application suggestions: the choice of positioning solar col-
lectors parallel to the roof pitch privileges visual appeal over
winter performance.
Description
Frame for positioning collectors built into the roof covering in
place of the tiles in the zone where the solar panels are in-
stalled, consisting of easy-to-install interlocking aluminium
plates for rainproofing, shapable lower flashing made of lead,
pre-folded stainless steel brackets, special aluminium parts,
complete with bolts to be mounted on-site.
2.4.2.3 Assembling collectors on flat roofs with ad-
justable inclination (.1-6 FA)
Application suggestions: adjustable inclination recommended
for structures used all year round.
Description
Support frame for flat roofs or for terraces or for floor-mount-
ed installation and complete with bolts to be mounted on-site.
