Solar Boiler SB32-9PV Installation Manual Download Page 14

Solar Boiler™

15 – Solar Boiler™ Copper Tube Connections

The Solar Boiler ™ module is prefilled with heat transfer fluid.

Carefully remove the plugs from the brass fittings and retain.  

Replace with the 3/8” compression nuts provided.  Turn the 

nuts on until finger tight.

Insert the marked copper tube in the fitting located on the pump 

until it bottoms.  Using two wrenches, one on the fitting body 

and one on the nut, tighten the nut one full turn.

Repeat the above proceedure for the other copper tube.

IMPORTANT:  Do not overtighten the nuts.  Over-

tighten could cause a leaky connection and/or cracked 

nuts.

Ensure that the household cold water main is 

adequately electrically grounded

16 – Solar Boiler™ PV and Sensor connections

Locate the Delta-T Booster II. Ensure that the 

power switch is in the “OFF” position.

Connect the “WHITE” and “GREEN” sensors 

wires to the terminals marked “Tc”.  

The “Ts” terminals are for the storage sensor 

located in the Solar Boiler™ module and is 

factory installed.

Feed the “RED and “BLACK” wires to the 

“PV+” and “PV–” terminals.  Connect the 

“BLACK” wire to the “PV–” terminal.  Connect 

the “RED” wire to the “PV+” terminal.

Caution:  Never connect any other sources of electricity to the Delta -T Booster. A 12 VDC power supply may be 

connected directly to the motor wires, ORANGE = “+” and BLUE = “–”
