4.10 Connection to cold and hot water networks
Connect the combined “safety (pressure) and one-way” valve to the cold water
inlet of the storage tank (blue washer), as shown in Figure 4.13
• No other components should be inserted between the combine valve and
the tank.
• Make sure that the arrow on the combined valve points towards the storage
tank.
Connect the city water supply pipe to the combined “safety (pressure) one way
valve.
Connect the hot water outlet (red washer) of the hot water storage tank with the
household hot water network.
It is strongly recommended to install, close to the solar water heater, two valves.
One in the cold water supply pipe and one in the hot water pipe to the house, in
order to be able to isolate the solar heater for any kind of intervention (maintenance,
repair) on it.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended to discuss with the customer the possibility for the
installation of a Mixing Valve (see paragraph 1.7). Such a mixing valve is not
provided.
In case that the customer agrees for its installation, please install it as it is
shown in Figure 4.14.
1. Hot water storage tank 2. Solar collector 7. Closed loop “cold” pipe (flow from the tank
to the collector) 8. Closed loop “hot” pipe (flow from the collector to the tank)
Figure 4.12 Tape is used to attach the thermal insulation in the fitting at the
inlet of the heat exchanger of the tank and at the inlet and outlet of the collector
