INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – CLOSED CIRCUIT SERIES
Warning : The tanks and collectors are heavy. Improper lifting techniques could result in personal injury during
installation. It is the installer’s responsibility to use only approved lifting and safety devices and techniques when lifting
collectors and tanks on roofs.
Warning : Do not remove the solar collector packaging completely prior to the installation as the solar collector surface
can become very hot. This will assist in preventing potential personal injury and also prevent premature heating of the
Hartgard solution prior to completion of the commissioning process. Remove only sufficient packaging material to enable
the installation of the solar collectors.
Select the location of the storage tank. The front mounting foot of the tank should be positioned directly over a tile batten.
Remove several tiles to expose the rafters and this batten.
Measure down 2050 mm from the centre of the batten to determine the location of the collector rail (refer to drawings,
Page 49), mark this location. Remove several roofing tiles from this location to expose the rafters. If more than two solar
collectors are installed, locate the additional collector rail from the parts kit adjacent to the first collector rail and join
together using the drive cleat supplied in the parts kit.
Note: The collector / tank straps are to be fitted to the collector rail(s) before fixing the straps to the rafters.
Determine which slots in the collector rail(s) will be used for the collector straps. Hook two collector straps to the first
bottom collector rail and one collector strap to an additional single collector rail (short) (if used). Refer to
“Hooking
Collector / Tank Strap to Collector Rail” on page 49 and Detail A on page 49.
Line up the straps with the rafters. After positioning the rail level, raise the left hand side 12 mm for each collector fitted
(i.e. 12 mm for a single collector system, 24 mm for a two collector system, 36 mm for a three collectors etc) and fix the
straps to the rafters. Replace the tiles.
Move back up to where the storage tank is to be positioned. If used, fit the tank flashing sheet under the top of the solar
collectors and extend up the roof to the top of the solar storage tank location. Place the flashing over this row of tiles and
tuck the top of the flashing under the row above.
Now using a lifting device, lift the collectors onto the roof and place them carefully into the collector rail. Remove the red
transit plugs from the collector sockets.
Join the collectors together using the collector connector assemblies (Part No. 337121 or 203000). On systems that use
conetite fittings, ensure the fittings are fully inserted into the sockets before tightening the nuts. Only medium spanner
pressure will be required. The conetite fittings should be used only once. If for any reason, assemblies with conetite fittings
need to be removed, replace them completely with new assemblies.
Fit the fill assembly (Part No. 337134 or 22036) and the collector bung assembly (Part No. 337135) into the bottom left
and top right hand corners (respectively) of the left and right hand collectors (respectively) using medium spanner pressure.
Centralise the collectors on the rail, and lock the collectors to the rail with the collector clamps (2 per collector) and
tighten, using the nuts and bolts provided.
For roof installations, slide the tank-to-collector spacers (Part No. 337144 or 204401) over the top of the collectors. These
should be located 200 mm from the outer edge of the collectors, and on a high spot of the tiles (or profile for metal roofs).
Now using a lifting device, lift the tank onto the roof. Place the tank onto an aluminium flashing (if used) and locate the
tank central to the collectors before sliding it down onto the spacers.
Secure the tank to the roof rafters in a similar manner to that for the collectors, using the tank straps (Part No. 204600) and
the aluminium clamps (Part No. 330872). Loosely attach the tank clamps to the rear foot of the tank base, and clip in and
bolt the tank straps. Refer to
“Hooking Collector / Tank Strap to Tank Clamp”
and drawings on page 50. Ensure the bolt
heads fit into the valley of the tile.
Remove the yellow instruction label from the cold pipe. Fit the cold pipe first at the right hand side of the tank and insert
the other end of the pipe to the lower collector socket and tighten. Remove the yellow instruction label from the hot pipe.
Fit the hot pipe first at the left hand side of the tank. Tighten collector-side nut, before tightening tank-side nut. The
floating conetite should always be on the tank-side. Note that neither the hot nor the cold pipes (collector return and flow
lines) require insulation on these systems. It is recommended however insulation be fitted to these should the system be
installed on a metal or trafficable roof.
