Collector Loop Pipe Insulation
The collector loop cold water supply and hot return lines shall be well insulated with high quality flexible closed cell insulation to minimize
heat loss. Use closed-cell tube insulation with a wall thickness of ¾" such as Armafelx, Rubatex or Insul-tube in mild climates. In cold clima-
tes, where freezing occurs, use insulation with 1 ½" wall thickness. Any above ground exterior pipe insulation is subject to UV degradation
and must be jacketed, wrapped with aluminum foil tape, or painted with two coats of high quality water-based acrylic resin coating as
supplied by the insulation manufacturer. To the extent possible, slide the insulation material over the pipe without cutting or taping. Seal
all butt joints with contact adhesive. Do not use rigid polyethylene pipe insulation. Insulate the cold and hot water lines with
flexible closed-cell tube insulation with a wall thickness of 1". Insulate the pipes with a suitable material of appropriate thickness in order
to reduce heat loss and protect the pipes from freezing. Do not insulate the valves (see page 6, part 6.2 and 6.3).
Inclination of the Solpal system/General
Use the Solpal system only if it can be installed so that it has an inclination of at least 20° but no more than 75°. Protect the system connec-
tions from contaminants entering the system, like dust etc.
