Description and Specifications
The GB Series pump is a portable horizontal multi-stage
pump designed for residential and agricultural
washdown, misting and general boosting services.
The 304 stainless steel version of the GB is used for
HVAC, general commercial, reverse osmosis and
filtration applications.

Piping
•
Piping should be no smaller than the pump discharge
and/or suction connections. Piping should be kept as
short as possible, avoiding unnecessary fittings to
minimize friction losses.
•
All piping MUST be independently supported and
MUST NOT place any piping loads on the pump.
•
All joints MUST be airtight. Use 3 – 4 wraps of
Teflon™ tape to seal threaded connections.
Wiring and Grounding

pump.
Electrical supply MUST match pump's name plate
specifications. Incorrect voltage can cause fire and/or
damage to the motor and voids warranty.
Motors not protected MUST be provided with
contactors and thermal overloads on single phase
motors, or starters with heaters on three phase
motors. See motor nameplate.
•
Use only stranded copper wire to motor and ground.
The ground wire MUST be at least as large as the wire
to the motor. Wires should be color coded for ease of
maintenance.
Pumps with open spray application must

be plugged into electrical service which is
protected by a Ground Fault Service Interrupter. Failure
to do so may result in serious personal injury or death
and property damage.
•
Follow motor manufacturer's wiring diagram on the
motor nameplate or terminal cover carefully.

HANDLE ASSEMBLY
Remove two top bolts from motor adapter. Insert them
through handle back into the motor adapter and tighten
securely.
NOZZLING
It is important to choose the right nozzle for proper
pump performance. The faucet supplying the water to
the pump should be checked to see what rate of flow it
will furnish. If the one min. flow with the faucet open is:
7 gals. — Use 6 gpm nozzle V2005
(which is included with each AM2)
6 gals. — Use 5 gpm nozzle V1502
5 gals. — Use 4 gpm nozzle SN0045
4 gals. — Use 3 gpm nozzle V10152
By using this method of choosing nozzles we can keep a
positive pressure at the pump intake. This will keep the
pump from "robbing" water from other faucets.
DAIRY FARM USE
We recommend that all WaterGuns
producing Grade "A'' milk be equipped with a Vacuum
Breaker, installed according to instructions supplied with
Vacuum Breaker. This prevents sub-atmospheric pressure
in the supply line even if the water supply should
diminish. We suggest the WaterGun be hung on a wall at
least 18" off the floor and that a hose rack be provided to
store the discharge hose off the floor.
