Collectors – Important points
Step 8
• Inspect fittings after collectors are
pressurized with water.
Critical: Fittings must be as
tight as possible.
Warning: Only pressurize the
the collectors for inspection
and de-pressurize them
immediately after inspection.
Critical: Do not leave
collectors pressurised for
longer than 24 hours.
• To prevent damage, collectors
should be left pressurised
only
when
connected to the storage tank with
appropriate pressure relief valves.
• Collectors can be located a maximum
of 20 metres (with minimal bends)
from the storage tank if pipe layout is
simple.
Note: For more energy
efficiency, locate the
collectors as close as
possible to the tank
• This system is suitable for 2 storey
homes.
