Plumbing Installation – retrofit
cylinder coils
The kit contains a screw in header, and 4m or 6m
of DN12 flexible stainless steel pipe with fittings.
Installation
When fitting, the pipe is first formed into a coil of
the required size and shape to fit the cylinder. This
coil must be small enough in diameter to clear any
existing coil if present. Note the narrow bottom
loop to enable insertion through the 2¼“ immersion
port. When the coil is being used for a solar input,
it should be made to fit as low down in the cylinder
as possible.
After forming the basic shape, the ends of the tube
are if necessary cut to the same length with a
normal pipe cutter.
Next fit the backnuts to the tube, and fit the split
circlip washers to the first corrugations. Then
screw the backnuts onto the header unit, without
the washers, and tighten them up to flatten the end of the tube. Remove the backnuts, fit
the ½” fibre washers to the backnuts, the 2¼ “ washer to the header, and refit the stainless
coil to the header, tightening up the nuts fairly firmly.
