18. Lay the lower edge of the next collector in the lower
mounting rail and hook it in at the clamping elements.
19. Ensure that the top clamping block of the clamping ele-
ment is above the edge of the collector.
20. Slide the collector to the first collector, observing the
hydraulic connectors.
Caution.
Risk of damage to the collector.
Improper installation of the pipe connectors
may damage the collector.
▶
Ensure that the clamps (
A
) slide into the
grooves of the pipe connector (
B
).
21. Secure the hydraulic connectors with the clamps.
22. Tighten the clamping elements of the lower mounting
rail.

Installing hydraulic connections
Caution.
Leak caused by incorrect accessories.
Incorrect accessories may result in a leak in
the solar circuit and cause material damage.
▶
Only work in the solar circuit with hard
soldered connections, flat seals, compres-
sion fittings or press fittings which have
been approved by the manufacturer for
use in solar circuits and at correspond-
ingly high temperatures.
The text that follows describes the installation of the hy-
draulic connections for the vertical collector position in the
case of "adjacent" array configuration.
