supplies to deliver hot water to your fixtures at a safe, controlled temperature.

!WARNING: SCALDING CAN OCCUR WITHIN FIVE SECONDS WHEN WATER TEMPERATURES APPROACH 140ºF. THE MIXING VALVE SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BY YOUR CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE WATER TO YOUR FIXTURES AT NO MORE THAN 120ºF.

The 3/4" cold water supply line to the solar storage tank must be insulated with minimum 7/8" X 1/2" pipe insulation to a minimum distance of 5' behind the storage tank, or to the wall if closer than 5'.

4.9 Tank Sensor Placement

Figure 18 details the proper placement of the solar storage tank sensor. Make sure the sensor is secured to the threaded stud on the storage tank with a 10-24 stainless steel nut.

Thoroughly weatherize the wire connections in accordance with the roof sensor detail above. Replace the fiberglass insulation batting and close the access cover.

A properly licensed contractor must make the 230 volt electrical connection to the water heater or solar storage tank and the electronic time switch (Optional No. 33). If your solar contractor is not allowed by law to make these connections consult a licensed electrician.

Never activate the circuit breaker controlling the electrical heating element until the solar storage tank is completely filled with water. This will prevent “dry firing” of the heating element. The electrical heating element will be destroyed almost instantaneously if not completely submerged in water when activated. Make sure the water heater circuit breaker is off until the solar storage tank is completely filled.
