Installing the stainless steel
solar pipe
Cutting
1. Split the pipes and cut the insulation using a sharp knife. Be careful not
to damage the wire.
2. Push the insulation back along the pipe to allow access for cutting the
pipes.
3. Cut the pipes in the valley of the corrugation using an adjustable pipe
cutter. Do not clamp the cutter on the pipe with great force or the pipe
will flatten.
4. Allow 1 additional valley on each cut of the pipe to produce the sealing
joint.
(An optional extra flanging tool is available which will create a perfect flange
finish on both DN 16 and DN 20 stainless steel pipework.
Final Connection
1.
Insert the washer into the nut.
2.
Screw nut onto the relative connection.
3.
Tighten nut using a spanner.
The pipe should be supported every one meter using the correct brackets.
