Hydraulic Connections
8.2 Compression Connection,
Landscape Systems Only
1. Fit the two 15mm compression
elbows supplied on to the two
adjacent solar connectors using the
15/12mm reducing sets provided in
the kit. Turn the elbows so that the
openings face each other as
shown. Do not fully tighten at this
stage.
2. Measure a length of 15mm copper
pipe (not supplied) required to
connect the two elbows. Cut the
15mm pipe to the required length
using a pipe cutter.
3. Remove the elbows from the
collectors. Fit the insulation onto the
copper pipe, fit the pipe between
the elbows and refit them to the
collector connectors.
4. Tighten the compression elbows.
Caution:
Apply opposite force when
tightening the compression
connections, otherwise the pipes on
the solar collector can be damaged!
5. After successfully checking the seal
of the solar collectors fit the thermal
insulation on the pipe and elbows.
6. Continue in the same way to install
additional solar collectors.

Important:
All system pipe connections must
use compression fittings with
brass olives. Soft soldered joints
must NOT be used on the solar
primary circuit.
Plastic pipe must NOT be used
for any part of the solar primary
circuit.
