NOTE:
Obstructions smaller than 6” can be circumvented by snapping the
panel riser tubes out of the spacer bar and spreading them around the
obstructions. (see Fig.
20
.2).
WARNING
- THIS SHOULD NOT BE DONE BETWEEN THE HEADER AND THE FIRST
SPACER BAR AS IT WILL POSSIBLY PULL THE RISER TUBE OUT OF THE
HEADER. THE S
WIM JOY
WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER LEAKS OCCURRING
FROM THIS TYPE OF INCORRECT INSTALLATION. A ROW SPACER KIT SHOULD
BE USED FOR THIS SITUATION.
Flexible riser tubes are snapped
out of the spacer bars to go
around small obstructions
.
When you need to install panels over an obstruction larger than 6’ wide, or if the obstruction is less than 1’ from a panel
header, you’ll need a row spacer kit to circumvent the obstruction.

Connect (4) of the (2-1810-005) pipe connectors to the headers of the
panel
s to be connected with
the
(2-1810-004)
panel clamp
assemblies
using the same procedures outlined in the section on connecting solar
panels
together on page

.
If using 2" PVC pipe, cut two lengths of pipe long enough to cement them to
a
PVC coupling, which will then be
cemented to the (2-1810-005) pipe connectors.
If using 1.5" PVC pipe, cut two lengths long enough to cement the section
directly
to the (2-1810-005) pipe
connectors on each header. 1.5" PVC pipe will slip directly into the (2-1810-005) pipe connector so no PVC couplings
are required.
Cement the necessary components together based on the required method outlined in steps 2a or 2b.
If the distance between the
panels
is over 4’, a pipe
support bracket
should be used on both pipes to prevent sagging.
