The line on the left at the top of the tank is the hot outlet of the solar tank to your back up water
heater. The line on the right is the cold inlet from the cold supply to the hose.
STEP 3: Place a Tee in the line downstream of the shut off valve. From one of the two open
ports of the Tee, plumb to the cold inlet port on the top of the solar tank. It is important to create
a thermal trap in the cold water supply. This is accomplished by plumbing the line straight down
12-18” and then back up. The remaining open port of the cold water tee needs to be plumbed to
the cold side of the tempering valve (marked “Cold”). The tempering valve should be located
12”-18” below the top of the tank.
STEP 4: Complete the plumbing of the tempering valve. From the “Hot” outlet port water
heater, plumb to the “Hot” side of the tempering valve (marked “Hot”). From the “Mixed” port
(in the middle) of the tempering valve, plumb to the hot water service to the house.
STEP 5: If a pressure reducing valve, check valve, or back flow preventer is installed on the
incoming water supply, a properly sized expansion tank must be installed on the potable supply
to the solar system.
STEP 6: You can now turn the water back on from the main hot water shut off. It will take the
solar tank a while to fill. Turn on a hot water valve somewhere in the building to let air escape.
Allow water to run for several minutes after air is purged in order for flux and impurities in the
lines to clear.
