WARNING: Plumber – Be Aware
• The solar hot and solar cold pipes between the solar storage tank and the solar
collectors MUST BE of copper and fully insulated with closed cell polymer
insulation or similar (minimum thickness 13 mm). Thicker insulation may be
required to comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4. The insulation must
be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed. All compression fittings must use
brass or copper olives.
Note: Failure to observe this requirement increases the risk of freeze
damage.
• Plastic pipe MUST NOT be used, as it will not withstand the temperature and
pressure of the water generated by the solar collectors under stagnation
conditions. The solar collectors can generate extremely high water temperatures
up to 150°C and high water pressure of 1000 kPa. Plastic pipe cannot withstand
these temperatures and pressures and
MUST NOT be used. Failure of plastic pipe
can lead to the release of high temperature water and cause severe water damage
and flooding.
Refer to Warning on page 27.
• A non return valve MUST BE installed on the cold water line to the solar storage
tank
AFTER the cold water branch to a temperature limiting device.
