2. Where to place the sensor on an array of flat-plate collectors

3. Methods for attaching a sensor1 2
Sensor laid alongside pipe; does not penetrate collector
Sensor inserted into the collector (See directions next page)

4. How to insert sensor into collector
This method allows for better protected temperature sensing.
1. With a 15/64” sharp drill bit, carefully drill alongside the grommet of the hot-out connection.

5. 2. Sweat on plumbing connection 3. Lubricate drilled hole 4
2. Sweat on plumbing connection 3. Lubricate drilled hole 4. Insert sensor for direct pipe contact

6. Once insulation has been placed on the pipe, the result is tidy and efficient.
