Solar plumbing - How do you make the solar plumbing connection.

How do I connect the solar hot

water plumbing system:

There are several different ways to connect the solar

hot water pipework,(shown below are 2),dependent on

the type of hot water cylinder you have.

Fitting our solar tank conversion valve(scv) to the cool

water port makes a convenient location to connect all

the solar soalr pipework including the inlet/drain.

best suited to older hot water cylinders or those without

solar ports,but can be used on just about any cylinder

giving excellent results with reduced down time.

Low pressure:remote pumped,open vented,no solar

ports.

Mains pressure:remote pumped,bottom feed,no

dispersion plates above bottom inlet.

Details of retro fitting to an existing cylinder:

Please note:
You can use a low-pressure hot water cylinder instead of

a mains pressure unit. It must be vented to the open air so

excess water or steam can escape.
If your existing hot water cylinder set up doesn't have a

tempering valve,we highly recommended one is installed

because of increased temperatures.

Detailed installation details comes with kit.
