I have come into possession of two, ~4 x12 Reynolds collectors and I
need to pressure test them. It looks like the piping to and from the
collectors was radiator hose. I have not been able to find any
installation instructions on line for the way to pipe these and was
wondering if anyone had a
I believe the absorber plate and piping is aluminum, so a galvanic isolation
fitting - compression if you can find it - would allow you to transition to
copper pipe.

We just use standard copper 5/8 compression fittings and have for decades
with no galvanic consequences. Sometimes tough to find a clean section of
tubing to go on. Also some limited success with a copper and aluminum
compatible solder

Hi Chris,
We are very familiar with Reynolds collectors as we are located near their
hometown of Richmond Va.
I have serviced these systems since their installers all disappeared after
1985, with the end of the tax credits of that era.
You can flush / pressure test using 5/8 ID automotive
Bill,
I was afraid of that!
One thing I didn't mention earlier is that the old-style frame widths of the
Mono have some significant variation from end to end. This makes it
difficult to maintain a nice even gap between rows. The newer Poly frames
(top-down only) seem to have a much tighter
Nick, that is a huge amount of difference. Like you, I would suspect the
lack of antireflective coating. Please let us in on any Solar World
response.

Friends:
I got my hands on the first of the new poly modules today. I understood
that the new framing would be present on the new mono and poly
modules. They are called the plus series.
The new frames present some problems. There is no place for an Acme clip
and no provision for back
