Thanks Tom for the info. I used brass flare fittings to copper instead of the original rubber hose connections and all seems well. Have been heating an 80 gal dual coil Amtrol tank to 135 degrees with no difficulty. High heat starts a tank circulator and just the circulator for the oil boiler coil keeping the boiler warm. Just need to resolve a minor condensation issue in one of the panels and find a local source for 4-way bypass valves.
Thanks again!
Frank

I have just completed rebuilding 2 panels and in the process of installation. Since I had little information on the original system configuration and the system had already been taken down, I am not sure whether the panels (5/8” aluminum 4’x12’) were tied in a series or parallel configuration. Any information would be helpful. I am located in Massachusetts planning to run a glycol solution as it gets rather cold in my area.
