36
FIBRO CEMENT OR METAL SHEET ROOFING
Select a location for the storage tank close to a purlin. Avoid locating tank at mid-span of sheeting. Fixing and assembly
procedures are similar to that detailed for tiled roofs, with the exception that the tank straps and the collector straps are
fixed with coach screws to the purlins below (refer to drawings, Page 49).
METAL TILED ROOF
Select a location for the storage tank. The front mounting foot of the tank should be positioned directly over a tile batten.
Fixing and assembly procedures are similar to that detailed for tiled roofs, except that the tank and collector straps are
fixed with spring head galvanised nails directly through the metal tiles into the rafters below. Seal under the straps with a
weatherproof mastic sealer.
FRAMES AND STANDS
Refer to installation sheet in the frame and stand kit.
OPEN CIRCUIT SYSTEMS – END CAP
The end cap is supplied fitted to the ‘tail’ end of the tank. The end cap used on the open circuit system has an opening to
enable the solar hot pipe to be connected to the solar storage tank.
Installing the Solar Hot Pipe
When installing the solar hot pipe with the end cap in position, ensure:
•
There is suitable access to the flats on the solar hot pipe fitting nut to enable it to be fitted securely
•
Scoring of the end cap by the tool does not occur when screwing in the fitting
•
The connection does not leak.
Removing the End Cap
The end cap can be removed from the jacket end if required to allow the fitting of the solar hot pipe.
If it is necessary to remove the end cap:
•
Remove the screw from the end cap
•
Using a flat faced screwdriver, gently lever the end cap out of its recess from the key slot at the bottom of the end cap.
Fitting the End Cap
To fit the end cap with the solar hot pipe:
•
Place the end cap over the solar hot pipe with the flat face away from the solar storage tank.
It may be necessary to slide the end cap down the solar hot pipe to allow access to the fitting nut on the pipe.
•
Fit the solar hot pipe to the solar storage tank.
•
Slide the end cap back up the solar hot pipe and position in the jacket end recess, lining up the slot at the bottom of the
end cap with the key on the jacket end.
•
Gently push into the recess so the end cap engages with the ridges on the jacket end.
•
Secure the end cap with the screw provided, taking care not to over tighten the screw.
Only use the screw provided.
