MOUNTING THE SOLAR COLLECTORS

Refer to Figure 1 throughout this section. When mounting

the collectors, always make provisions for inlet connec-

tions at the bottom header and outlet connections at the

top. The outlet headers must be pitched a vertical dis-

tance of at least 8" (20cm) above the inlet headers to

assure proper drainage and uniform flow. Plan the col-

lector location to allow at least one foot on all sides of the

row of collectors for mounting brackets and piping. The

outlet pipe for each row of collectors must be connected

diagonally opposite the inlet pipe. Refer to Figure 2.
