DISABLING A DAMAGED RISER TUBE
In the event of a riser getting damaged and leaking, one of the advantages of the eco-Spark® collectors
is the ease with which the leaking riser can be disabled, the leak repaired, and the disabled riser
attached to maintain the uniform appearance of the panel.
A damaged riser is disabled using an eco-Spark®/Sunstar® riser repair kit (consisting of two rubber sleeves
and two plastic plugs), and the broken riser itself.
Note:
Water does not run through the disabled riser. The purpose of the disabled riser is only to
maintain the uniform appearance of the panel.

Do not use a chisel more than 6mm (

inch) wide, as you might damage the adjacent
risers as you remove the broken riser.
