HANDLING
Avoid impact on pump or motor. In particular, avoid impact
on discharge end of pump or rear motor access cover.
LOCATION
!
pump due to power outages, discharge line blockage, or any
other reason, a backup system(s) should be used.
1. Locate pump as close to the fluid source as possible,
keeping the inlet pipe short as possible.
2. Place unit where the pump and piping are protected
from the weather and extremes of heat, humidity and
below freezing temperatures.
3. Mount unit in a dry location that is easily accessible for
inspection and maintenance. If a dry location is not
available, mount it on a foundation well above the wet
floor.
4. Allow ample clearance around unit for free air
circulation.
SUCTION LIMITATIONS
1. Units are non self-priming.
2. Pressure booster pumps are not recommended for
suction lift applications.
PIPING
1. Use galvanized piping, rigid plastic or other suitable pipe
that will not collapse under suction or rupture due to
pressure.
system. Ordinary garden hose will collapse and starve the
pump of water.
2. The diameter of the inlet and discharge pipe should be
no smaller than the corresponding ports of the pump
(See Figure 1). Smaller pipe will reduce the capacity of
the pump. Increase pipe size on long runs.
3. Avoid air pockets in inlet piping or air will accumulate at
high points, making priming difficult.
4. Use pipe compound on all joints and connections. Use
Teflon tape or plastic joint stik, on plastic pipe. Draw all
pipe up tightly.
