Vortex Panels - Quality Solar Collectors: Industrial grade polypropylene plastic Carbon black - superior absorption UV Inhibitors - prevents deterioration SINGLE 4x8 VORTEX Solar Panels may be ordered in any quantity required. Each solar panel comes with one accompanying Hardware Kit. The Hardware Kit [one per panel] is necessary for mounting of each individual panel to the roof or rack, and for connecting it to the adjacent panel. Note: When ordering - enter the number of panels required in the "quantity" box - after clicking the "Add to Cart" button above. *Custom Configurations Note: Combining different size panels requires the use of a Split Kit; purchase in the product listing section. *Custom Configurations Example: Combining six 4x10s on roof A with two 4x12s on roof B. In this example the customer would order a six panel 4x10 Standard, Deluxe, or Premium Solar Heater Kit, and separately order a quantity of two additional Single 4x12 Panels, which include accompanying Hardware Kit for each panel, plus one Split Kit. Note: Special discounts are available on large quantity orders, and for licensed pool and building contractors - please contact a Customer Service Agent. Single Panels are also perfect for replacing one or more panels on an existing system in need of repairs [VORTEX will connect to most other manufactures products see product specifications]. Increasing heat higher than standard operating temperatures of 80-85 degree range can be achieved by simply adding panels see the Specific Formula Sizing Guide for detailed instructions. Adding one or more panels to an existing installed system is an excellent way to increase the inadequate heating performance of an under-engineered solar pool heating system. _______________________________________________________ VIEW » Vortex Install Manual PDF FormatView the manual for details on installing a solar pool heaterVIEW » Ground Rack Diagram PDF FormatSpecification diagram for optional ground rackHELP » Contact Customer Support Toll-Free help line offering unit sizing support Online e-mail technical and installation support Brand and cost-of-operation comparisons _______________________________________________________ Vortex Panel Kit for connecting solar panel to adjacent panels and mounting on to the roof surface or supporting rack The Vortex Panel Kit includes the necessary parts required to connect panels together, and mount them onto various roof surfaces types [shingle, wood shake, metal, and tile], or ground rack system.
