provide a waterproof seal. Another method is to make a flat copper flashing with an
oversize tube, which is penetrated by the copper water pipe. A coolie cap is made from
a reducing coupling that fits the oversized copper tube and is large enough for the
copper water pipe to just pass through. It is then soldered to the oversized copper tube
and the copper water pipe.
See Drawing E
. Make sure the pipe penetrations are
downhill from the collector connections. Water will not drain uphill.
