Abstract: For the simple Thomason "SOLARIS" heat collector, a simple outlet is used that requires a drop-outlet nipple with a U-slotted top end, and sealant to avoid escape of liquid or steam (vapor).In a modification, only one drop outlet is used for two "SOLARIS" panels, thus cutting the cost even further.In another modification a slotted, sloping pipe serves as an outlet and drain.
