SWIMMING POOL SOLAR HEATING SYSTEM
INSTALLATION MANUAL

Header Inserts are used in special situations where unusually high stagnation temperatures are expected, such as in a desert climate or where abnormally high system pressures may occur. Use four (4) inserts per collector.   Hurricane Collector Hold-Down Procedure. When used in addition to the basic collector installation kit, mounting in this manner meets the standards in Florida counties requiring resistance to 120 mile per hour winds. In regions where high winds are prevalent, special mounting precautions may be necessary to secure brackets to the mounting surface. One method, using threaded rods, is shown here.

MOUNTING THE SOLAR COLLECTORS Refer to Figure 1 throughout this section. When mounting the collectors, always make provisions for inlet connections at the bottom header and outlet connections at the top. The outlet headers must be pitched a vertical distance of at least 8” (20cm) above the inlet headers to assure proper drainage and uniform flow. Plan the collector location to allow at least one foot on all sides of the row of collectors for mounting brackets and piping.

The outlet pipe for each row of collectors must be connected diagonally opposite the inlet pipe. Refer to Figure 2.
