manifold pipes of the collector array. Install a 1/2" male
compression union fitting (supplied with the collectors) and

Open the fittings kit KKSSURA and check that all
components have been supplied (see components list). Since
this kit is also used for flat panel type collectors there will be
some pieces which will not be used.
On the collector array outlet install a tee piece, 1/2" to 3/8"
reducing bush, vent valve, 1/2" nipple and 1/2" female to
copper union (see diagram below). Between the fittings
use a thread sealant that is capable of handling the high
temperatures created by the collectors. Ensure the vent
valve is installed so that its vent is pointing directly upwards,
perpendicular to the ground (not the roof).
