Hi all,
I have bought a few solar vacuum tubes, old model which gets filled with water+antifreeze (not the heat pipe model), but I do not have the installation instructions.
On the solar panel head there are 30 plastic screw threads, where the tubes will be fixed. I have 2 questions concerning the installation of the tubes, hope somebody can help.
How do I fix the tubes? I was thinking of using silicone on the thread in order to hold and seal the tube. Does anybody know if these kind of tubes can sustain a high pressure (a few Bar)? That would be desirable, so that I can use a water tank in the basement, via a closed-circuit connection and pump.
Thanks, Leodp
