B. SOLAR WATER HEATER LOCATION
To minimize expense and heat loss, locate the solar water heater as centrally to the domestic piping system and near the solar
collectors as possible. The water heater must also be located in an area where it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures. All
piping should be insulated to protect against freezing and heat loss.
In addition, the solar water heater and all related solar system components should be installed with plenty of clearance for inspection
and service. If minimum clearances are not met, it may not be possible to service the solar system without removing component parts
from installation locations.
The solar water heater should also be installed in a place where T&P discharge or a leak will not result in damage to the surrounding
area. Install a 2” high catch pan with a minimum of ¾” drain line to prevent water damage if leakage should occur (see Figure 5).
