Assembly of Row Spacer Kits
When you need to install collectors over an obstruction
larger than six (6) inches wide, or if the obstruction is
less than one foot from a collector header, you’ll need a
row spacer kit to circumvent the obstruction.
RSK
Connect the four (4) 117 pipe connectors to the head-
ers of the collectors to be connected with a 113 plastic
collector clamp using the same procedures outlined in
the section on connecting solar collectors together on
page 12.
Cut two lengths of 1-1/2” PVC pipe long enough to ce-
ment the 117 pipe connectors on each collector to each
other.
Cement the PVC pipe to the pipe connectors as shown
in Fig. 9.
If the distance between the collectors is over 4 inches,
a 2-inch pipe clamp should be used on both pipes to
prevent sagging.
Note: When gluing the 117 CPVC pipe con-
nectors, it is necessary to use good quality,
multi-purpose cement. The spacer bar may
need to be cut out of the way if it falls in
the obstruction’s path.
Warning: This should not be done between
the header and the first spacer bar as it will
possibly pull the riser tube out of the head-
er. The Heliocol warranty does not cover
leaks occurring from this type of incorrect
installation. A row spacer kit could be used
for this situation.
Flexible riser tubes are snapped out of the spacer bars
to go around small obstructions. The spacer bar may
need to be cut out of the way if it falls in the obstruc-
tion’s path.(Fig. 10)
