2A The Optional Supplemental System Isolation Kit (Part #12033-5) includes a 1 1/2” - 2” PVC union ball valve and a 1 1/2” -2” PVC check valve to permit manual isolation of the solar system from the pool or spa filtration system. Use one (1) kit per system. 5 The Row Spacer Kit (Part #12017-1 for 1 1/2” kit; #12017-2 for 2” kit) is used when a row of collectors must be interrupted by a space to allow for obstructions such as a chimney or roof vent. It contains the hardware needed to space around
