SYSTEM ASSEMBLY 

33 

Solar Stand – Across Pitch or Against Pitch:

 Determine the location of the Flat Roof stand and the 

Across Pitch or Against Pitch stand. Assemble and fix the stands to the roof, following the instructions 
provided with the stands. Ensure the collector rail is at the correct angle from the horizontal to achieve 
the required rise across the solar collectors. 

Solar Stand – Flat Roof Installation:

 Determine the location of the Flat Roof stand. Assemble and fix 

the stand to the roof, following the installation instructions provided with the stand. Ensure the collector 
rail is at the correct angle from the horizontal to achieve the required rise across the solar collectors. 

4. 

Solar Collectors:

 Position the solar collectors in the correct configuration with the lower ends seated in 

the collector rail (13). 

5. 

Collector Unions:

 For a 300 litre model with two solar collectors, couple the solar collectors together 

using the collector unions (5) supplied in the pipe kit. Refer to 

Detail C

 on page 36 for details. 

6. 

Clamps and Fixing Collector (Bottom):

 Ensure the solar collectors are well seated in the collector rail. 

Clamp the solar collectors (two clamps per collector) to the collector rail, using the clamps (11) and hex 
screws, washers and nuts (26) provided. 

7. 

Solar storage tank:

 

Tile Roof:

 If used, fit the tank flashing sheet (not shown) under the top of the solar collectors and extend 

up the roof to the top of the solar storage tank location. Lift the roof tiles immediately above the solar 
storage tank location and secure the flashing sheet to the roofing members. Ensure the flashing sheet 
makes the section of roof under the tank waterproof. Locate the Tank to Collector spacers (24) against 
the top end of the solar collectors (one per collector). 

Metal Roof:

 

Locate the Tank to Collector spacers (24) against the top end of the solar collectors (one 

per collector). 

Position the solar storage tank in place above the Tank to Collector spacers. 

8. 

Collector Connections of Pipe Work:

 Install the solar cold pipe (long pipe) (15) supplied to the bottom 

left  connection  of  the  solar  collectors  and  the  solar  hot  pipe (short  pipe) (1)  supplied  to  the  top  right 
connection of the solar collectors. 

9. 

Tank Connections of Pipe Work:

 Connect the solar cold pipe (15) to the heat exchanger connection 

on  the  left  hand  end  of  the  solar  storage  tank.  Connect  the  solar  hot  pipe (1)  to  the  heat  exchanger 
connection on the right hand end of the solar storage tank. 

10. 

Fill  Plug:

  Fit  the  fill  plug (21)  to  the  bottom  right connection  of  the solar  collectors using  the  collector 

gland nut (4) provided. Refer to 

Detail A

 on page 36 for details. 

11. 

Fill / Drain Label:

 Attach the Fill / Drain label adjacent to the Fill Plug (21). 

12. 

Collector  Bung:

  Fit  the  collector  bung (6)  to  the  top  left  connection  of  the  solar  collector  using  the 

collector gland nut (4) provided. 

13. 

Tank Straps:

 On a pitched roof installation, position and hook the tank straps (17) into the louvres at the 

back and underneath of the tank support foot. 

Tile Roof:

 Remove the tiles on the next row above the position of the solar storage tank to expose the 

rafters. Once in position, fix the tank straps to the rafters using suitable screws or anchors. Replace the 
tiles. 

Metal Roof:

 once in position, fix the tank straps to the rafters, through the metal roofing material, using 

suitable screws or anchors. The tank straps may be cut to a length of approximately 400 mm to retain 
the aesthetics of the installation. 

Note:

 Fixings must penetrate only through the high point in the roof material profile.
