4 x 20 INSTALLATION OR MULTI-SYSTEM INSTALLATION
This layout is for a system of more collectors installed near the pool filter equipment. Installing the collector
on a roof, rack or fence may require additional plumbing and hardware kits.
Rubber End Cap
1. Ensure there is adequate work space to unroll the 20’ collector.
2. Remove the collectors from the box and the strap from around the collector.
3. Slowly uncoil the panel.
NOTE: Laying on the collector in the reverse direction of the coils
will help flatten the panel
4. Remove and discard the black protective caps covering the threaded portion of the headers.
5. Join the headers with the white labels together using a rubber hose connector and two 1 ½” hose clamps.
Position the hose clamps ½” in from each end of the rubber connector hose and tighten.
6. Locate the header that does not have the white serial number label and install the rubber end caps on
either end of that header.
7. Locate the header with the white serial number label and install the PVC elbow connectors on either end
of that header.
8. Turn the pool pump off and ensure the handle of that filter is in the OFF/CLOSED position.
9. Plug the return fitting to prevent water loss.
10. Remove the flex hose from the return fitting of the pool and secure it to the lower PVC elbow connector
using a stainless steel clamp.
11. Secure another flex hose (not included) to the top PVC elbow and return fitting of the pool using the
stainless steel hose clamps following the above system layout.
12. The collector is now installed and ready to use. Ensure that all fittings are secure.
13. Remove the plug from return fitting and turn the handle of the filter to the FILTER position.
14. Turn the pool pump to the ON position.
NOTE: Air bubbles may come through the return line during the initial start-up of the collector. This is
Normal and will stop after all the air has been purged from the solar heating system.
