water manifold (?)

In this sort of context, the translation of 'collecteur' as 'manifold' often seems to work; sometimes 'header'.
As for 'hydraulique', I can only assume here it means 'hydraulic' in the sense of water, rather than 'hydraulics using oil'.
As for the combined term, sorry, this is out of my field...
I assume what it must mean is that the way the boiler is made is by various tubes that get heated coming out and all joining together into a common manifold.

water collector

Spontaneously, I thought of this answer and found 4200 hits on Google.

I admit, though, that I don't know what "assemblage par collecteurs hydrauliques" refers to. Although I did find some sites on "water collector assembly"

Hope this helps
Good luck
