The following describes some of the most common considerations in a standard installation:
Length of Copper Piping
Your plumber should advise you how much copper pipe will be required.
Piping Insulation
Your plumber should advise you how much pipe insulation will be required. Good quality insulation is essential for your system to operate effectively.
General Power Outlet (GPO)
Installation of a new power point is required, when no existing electrical connection is available near the tank for the controller to be plugged into.
Extra Electrical
This is usually required when the position of the electric tank is to be moved. It is also needed when off peak power or a timer is to be connected to the tank.
Roof Flashings
This is used to ensure a neat, tidy, weatherproof and leak-free finish in cases where the piping is plumbed through the roof.
Pipe Covering
This is an optional extra used to hide piping insulation that is running down outer walls.
Sundries
This includes a range of small additions, such as (but not limited to) extra fittings, silicone, clamps, screws, sealing tape, gas, nuts and bolts.
Slab and Concrete
A concrete slab may need to be laid, to provide a stable level for the tank to stand on. This is usually required when the tank is to be installed in a new location.
Pitching Frames
Frames may be required if your roof has a low pitch or is flat. Contact Endless Solar if your plumber recommends a frame.
In all cases discuss your needs with your plumber.
