pipes – Important points

Step 6 

  Critical: Due to the high 

temperature imposed by solar 
heated water, all solar system 
pipes and fittings must be DR 
brass and copper, including 
collector compression fittings 
(as supplied). No plastic pipes 
or fittings.

•  Flow and return lines must be 

installed as direct as possible 
between tank and collector. 

•  Pipes 

must

 

be fully insulated 

with 

UV stabilized insulation suitable for 
solar working temperatures. We 
recommend Armaflex DuoSolar / 
Solar insulation, minimum 13mm 
thick (refer to local regulations).

  Note: Warranty will be void 

if this minimum insulation 
requirement is not used.

Pipes must be DR 

brass and copper. 

Refer to AS/NZS 

3500.4.

Pipes must be fully 

insulated with UV 

stabilized insulation 

suitable for solar working 

temperatures, minimum 

13mm thick (refer to local 

regulations)
