Connection pipes should not show any
signs of damage.
Lubricate all plug-in connectors (O-
rings) found on the collectors only with
the special grease supplied with the con-
nection set.
The side with the type plate must be on
the outside of the first and last collec-
tor.
Secure the pipework on only one collec-
tor opposite the side with the type
plate.
1. Hook the collector into the mounting
plates and position the collector on
the mounting rails.
2. Secure the collector with four clamp-
ing brackets to the mounting rails.
3. Insert the connecting pipes into the
flow and return connections.
4. Hook in the next collector.
5. Carefully push the new collector
against the first one and insert the
connecting pipes.
Distance to the bottom edge of the
fitted collector 21 mm.
6. Install further collectors as descri-
bed.
7. Tighten all clamping brackets.
8. Fit the caps (part of the connection
set).
Installing the connection set and collector temperature sensor
Observe the following when installing the
locking ring fitting:
■ All pipes must be cut at a right angle
and deburred.
■ Push the union nut and the locking ring
onto the pipe and lightly lubricate the
threads with oil.
■ Push the pipe into the locking ring fit-
ting as far as it will go.
■ Initially turn the union nut by hand,
then tighten with an open ended span-
ner by a further ¾ turn.
Never fit annealed copper pipes onto the
locking ring fittings.
