Introduction 

 

Congratulations on purchasing a flat plate collector, our collectors use cutting edge technology and attractive design to bring you a high 
quality product. 

 

This manual must be read thoroughly and understood before undertaking to mount and install any of the flat plate collectors, If after 

reading this manual any aspect of the installation process remains unclear contact an 

Xstream

 representative prior to installation. 

 

This manual serves only as a guide to the correct installation / mounting of Flat plate collectors it must be read in conjunction with the 
“system specific” installation manual ; it does not seek to defy logic and or the experience of suitably trained installers, use discretion.

Mounts and attachments 

 

Before mounting the collector note that the collector has a “right Side” up sticker located on the top right side, on the top left side of the 
collector below the 22mm pipe protrusion there is a thermal probe pocket, if a temperature differential intelligent solar controller is to be 
used in the installation it is strongly recommended that these instructions are followed and the collector is mounted in the correct 
orientation to allow for a more accurate temperature reading.
