Carefully lift out the Teflon frame and place in a secure location. Caution: Even a slight
breeze can turn the frame into a sail.
6. Remove the stainless steel rod that crosses over the top of the tank securing the two
framewalls together. This rod is part of the unit’s high wind load reinforcement.
7. The tank can now be removed by lifting up the end opposite of the inlet and outlet
connections and pulling it until the inlet/outlet connections clear the insulation inside the
frame. Be careful not to scratch the black finish of the tank.
8. Locate the leak and repair it using 95/5 solder or equal. Cover the leak area with a
generous amount of solder.
9. Replace the tank by pushing the inlet and outlet connections through the holes in the
insulation and out the frame. Allow the tank to drop into place.
10. Re-attach the stainless steel rod. It may be helpful to push in on the center of the frame
until the locknut has been secured to the rod. Do not over tighten or the glass will not fit
into place.
11. Replace the Teflon film frame and rivet it into place. If rivets are not available, use #8
self-threading screws.
12. Replace the glass and its gasket. Make sure it fits evenly all the way around the frame.
13. Replace the glass caps. Apply pressure on the screws when tightening to ensure good
compression on the gasket. This will make a good watertight seal.
14. Re-attach the supply and return piping.
