COLLECTORS CONNECTION
The diagram below illustrates the connections between solar collectors in lines.
The fittings are available as accessories to be ordered separately.
The collectors in a line are connected so that the heat transfer fluid goes through them in series.
It is also possible to connect more then one line of solar collectors both in series (max 6 collectors in series) or in paral-
lel. Anyway the circuit must be hydraulically balanced (see the following schemes as an example).

compliance with applicable standards.
