EXPLODING TANK CAN INJURE OR
WARNING
KILL.
• DO NOT install any shut-off valves,
• DO NOT allow tank or pressure relief
• Ensure pressure relief valve is large
For optimum performance, we recommend using the same
size pipe as the pump discharge between the pump and the
tank. Smaller diameter pipe may severely limit the
maximum capacity of the system.
If using a torque arrestor, install it on the discharge pipe
before connecting pipe to the discharge head
Most pumps are assembled with left-hand
CAUTION
threads. Always hold discharge head with
pipe wrench when installing discharge pipe into pump.
Holding casing, motor or motor adapter will allow pump
to unscrew and result in premature pump failure.
To prevent galvanic corrosion, use stainless steel fittings
when discharge head is stainless steel.
If a barb type fitting is used, double clamp where it
connects to drop pipe.
Ensure pressure rating of pipe is higher than maximum
pump discharge pressure. Refer to pump catalog
information or consult supplier for maximum discharge
pressure.
Set pump at least 10' off bottom of well
It is allowable to run branches off of the pipe between the
pump and pressure sensor as long as no devices that could
restrict flow are between the pump and pressure sensor.
