Sunbank Installation Manual
10. Insulation and Jacketing
All plumbing that is exposed to the elements should be adequately insulated and jacketed; how best
to do this will depend on the specifics of your installation and your climate. Below are examples of
insulation and jacketing systems. Aluminum jacketing for solar thermal projects can be found at a
local distributor or here:

. We have found that
6” aluminum flex
duct and aluminum stack vent are the products most commonly available at hardware stores and
serve a similar function. You must install the aluminum version of these products, not the
Mylar/plastic version as they are not robust enough to be installed outdoor and can be destroyed by
birds.
A register boot will interface with the tank. You can use rivets or tek screws to connect the boot to the
tank and butyl tape to flash. Re
member, don’t do this until yo u have filled the tank with water and
checked for leaks.
11. Filling the tank
Make certain the drain valve is closed. Open the solar isolation valves (V2 and V3) to allow water to fill
the Sunbank tank. Close the solar bypass valve (V1) to force cold water into the Sunbank. The Air
Vent (or Hy Vent) will allow air to escape and the tank to fill with water. Check the connections and
fittings for leaks and repair any if found.
