SOLAR HOT AND SOLAR COLD PIPE CONNECTIONS
Refer to the installation instructions supplied with the pipe kit for connection details of the solar hot and solar
cold pipes.
Roof area required:
300 L x 2 collectors – 2.5 m wide x 2.5 m deep. Weight (full) 490 kg approx.
160 L x 1 collector – 1.4 m wide x 2.5 m deep. Weight (full) 277 kg approx.
Notes:
All plumbing work must be carried out by a qualified person and in accordance with the National
Plumbing Standard AS/NZS 3500.4 and local authority requirements. In New Zealand, the installation
must conform with Clause G12 of the New Zealand Building Code.
Pipe work, including that within the roof space, is to be securely fixed to prevent vibration.
These solar collectors have passed the AS/NZS 2712 requirements for resistance to hailstone damage,
so it is not normally necessary to fit a guard to a collector. Stone Guards are available to provide a level
of protection to the collectors against vandalism or accidental damage. Refer to your local Solar
Distributor for details.
Warning: Do not remove the solar collector packaging completely, prior to the installation as the
solar collector surface can become very hot. Remove only sufficient packaging material to enable the
installation of the solar collectors.
Upon completion of the installation of the solar water heater the packaging material may be removed
from the NPT 200 solar collectors, whether or not the solar water heater is commissioned.
The solar collector packaging must be removed completely prior to the permanent operation of the water
heater.
All connectors, end plugs, „O‟ rings, brass fittings, collector straps, collector angle and Sunstat valve
required for the installation are included with the pipe kit.
Suitable screws or anchors will be required to fix the collector straps to the rafters for a pitched roof
installation.
Warning: Where straps, frames, etc. are secured to roof members, all fixings must be of an
appropriate type to suit the type of member. Inadequate or inappropriate fixings may result in straps
becoming unsecured and the installation of the solar hot water system becoming unsafe.
Refer to the installation instructions supplied with the pipe kit for details on the installation of the solar
collectors and the connecting pipe work.
Use thread sealing tape or an approved thread sealant on all fittings.
If the storage tank is being installed with existing solar collector(s), then utilise the existing Sunstat
valve, fittings and pipes used on the installation.
