INSTALLATION – SOLAR CONTROL UNIT

￿￿Insulate the preformed pipe (4) with the 280 mm long x 12 mm diam insulation (12) and secure with the cable ties (14) provided

￿￿Fit the air bleed valve and non return valve assembly (11) to the solar hot water inlet of the 5 way tee (2). Ensure the bleed valve outlet is orientated downwards at a slight angle to the horizontal and to the rear of the solar storage tank.

￿￿Connect a drain line to the bleed valve (refer to “Bleed Valve Drain” on page 30).

￿￿Fit a BSP½” x G½” nipple (1) to the end (inlet) of the air bleed valve and non return valve assembly (11) (ensure the compression end of the nipple is exposed).

￿￿Connect the solar hot pipe (from the collector) to the nipple (1) on the air bleed valve and non return valve assembly (11) using the compression nut (5) and olive (6) provided.

￿￿Insulate the air bleed valve and non return valve assembly (11) and 5 way tee (2), from the solar hot pipe to the inlet of the solar storage tank, with the 220 mm x 35 mm diam insulation (13) and secure with the cable ties (14) provided.

Note: Use thread sealing tape or an approved thread sealant on all fittings.
