SOLAR COLLECTOR COIL INSTALLATION
STEP 1:
Beginning with one end of the collector only,
strip and remove the connecting web between the
collector tubes back by approximately 150mm.
*Pointy nose pliers can assist with this step*
Trim the webbing back using a pair of scissors
Lubricate both the inner and outer surface of the tubes
and then slide 10 collars over each tube, making sure the
lip of the collar is towards the end of the strip.
*Be wary of overspray, slip hazard*
STEP 2:
Push each tube onto the appropriate barb,
leaving approximately 4-5mm gap between the manifold
body and end of tube.
Using a pair of multigrips, push each collar onto the
manifold, this will securely lock each barb into place.
STEP 3:
Lay the coil in a straight line to the designated strip length. It may be useful to have a reference line
marked to guarantee the strips are in a straight line. Once the desired length is reached, lead the coil around
(do not flip) and continue unrolling back towards the manifold system.
STEP 4:
Using the solar collector as a guide, mark the position of the Tufman 10-1 manifold in the RETURN
pipe, following the steps outlined above, drill and install the manifold.
If required, trim the collector to length using a sharp pair of scisors.
Using the steps above, remove the web, lube, collar and connect the solar to the manifold system.
STEP 5:
Repeat the process until 2 strips of solar
collector and manifolds have been installed.
Adjust the two connected strips so they are straight and
neat. Once satisfied, apply a generous line of Prosil 60
Black silicone adhesive under the solar strips with a
caulking gun, apply at
400mm to 500mm intervals
.
Press the solar down firmly to ensure a good bond.
*Do not use any adhesive other than the Prosil product
provided - untested silicones can have negative effects on
the solar collector*
STEP 6:
Repeat this process of laying, connecting, and gluing the collector at two strips at a time until all
collector is installed.
