ABSTRACT:
A solar collector water heater is provided in kit form suitable for installation by a homeowner using a minimum of ordinary tools. The kit includes a rectangular insulation board serving as a baseboard, and a solar absorber plate mountable on the insulation board and including a heat exchanger with couplings for connection to a tank. A thermosiphon water tank is provided together with couplings for connecting to the heat exchanger. A main frame is assembled of a rear rail, a pair of side rails, and a front rail, all of extruded aluminum, using corner keys for adjoining adjacent ones of these rails at their ends. At least one side glazing panel having a top surface and a pair of legs inwardly disposed therefrom is cooperatively retained within the assembly by a first depression formed in one of the rail members insertably receiving and retaining one of the legs and a second depression formed in a glazing rim insertably receiving and retaining another of the legs. The top surface of the side-glazing panels being cooperatively retained adjacent to one of the rail members by a side cap and also retained adjacent to the glazing rim by an upper cap. A least one front glazing panel is also securely retained within the solar collector water heater within an opening formed between the glazing rim and the upper cap. The upper cap includes a projection extending downwardly therefrom which cooperates with a flange outwardly disposed from the glazing rim to cooperatively retain the front glazing panel within the opening.
