MOUNTING COMPONENTS DIAGRAM MOUNTING COMPONENTS This section provides descriptions and part numbers of the Aquatherm Industries Installation Kits required for each solar pool heating system. The mounting location of each kit component is shown by the corresponding circled num- ber in the ‘Mounting Components’ diagram, shown above. 2 The System Kit (Part #12135-1 for 1 1/2” kit; #12135-2 for 2” kit) contains additional hold-down hardware, connec- tion parts and adapters needed to complete water c

2A The Optional Supplemental System Isolation Kit (Part #12033-5) includes a 1 1/2” - 2” PVC union ball valve and a 1 1/2” -2” PVC check valve to permit manual isolation of the solar system from the pool or spa filtration system. Use one (1) kit per system. 5 The Row Spacer Kit (Part #12017-1 for 1 1/2” kit; #12017-2 for 2” kit) is used when a row of collectors must be interrupted by a space to allow for obstructions such as a chimney or roof vent. It contains the hardware needed to space around
