Safety instructions
Roof
Before installation, make sure
-
that the roof can withstand the load of a TS-INOX water heater once filled.
-
that the inclination is sufficient for the thermosiphon’s function (see page 6)
Local climatic conditions, such as snow and wind, must be taken into consideration. Please contact your
seller for more information.
Location
Make sure that there is enough space available for the correct installation of the system. Please observe
the distance to the roof edge of 1.5m. This is necessary with regard to roof statics, snow and wind loads,
as well as to facilitate maintenance of the system. If the roof does not allow this, please consult a structural
engineer.
Roof waterproofing
In order to avoid moisture and water infiltration problems on the roof, pipes that penetrate the roof must be
well sealed. The fixing of the supports is carried out by means of anchor bolts with sealing gasket.
Additional comments
The connecting pipes must be very well insulated to avoid heat loss and UV damage.
We recommend that you declare the TS-INOX water heater to your insurance company as an added value
to the building and take out insurance against lightning and glass breakage.
Be careful:
On very sunny days, the collectors can become very hot. There is a risk
of burning. Therefore, the collectors must be covered during installation. Prefer an
installation in the early morning.
