Ensure optimal performance of your flat plate solar collector with the correct sensor installation. Follow the guidelines for placing the sensor inside the collector, under the glass, for accurate temperature sensing. Avoid placing the sensor on a flat plate collector; it should not penetrate the collector or be used in drainback systems. For detailed placement instructions, including drilling and lubrication steps, please contact Rod Hyatt at (508) 542-9830 or via email at rod.hyatt@htproducts.com.
