INSTALLATION
STEP ONE: PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION
This pump is self-priming.
The pump is for indoor use only and should be mounted on a solid surface in a location that is dry and
provides adequate ventilation.
DO NOT locate the motor near plastics that could melt or combustible material. The surface temperature
of the motor may exceed 93°C (200°F).
Prior to installation ensure properly sized wiring, proper electrical protection and adequately sized
plumbing lines and connections.
STEP TWO: MOUNTING
The pump may be mounted in any horizontal position. If mounting the pump vertically, the pump head
should be in the down position so that in the unlikely event of a leak, fluid will not enter the motor.
Secure the rubber feet with #8 fasteners. DO NOT compress the feet, doing so will reduce their ability to
isolate vibration/noise. (Note: fasteners are not included.)
Mount pump within 1800mm (6 feet) of the tank for best pump performance and longer pump life.
STEP THREE: PLUMBING
See table below for port size and recommended hose sizes.
Remove shipping plugs from pump ports.
Use included swivel fittings to connect flexible high-pressure tubing to the NPS ported pumps.
Use included quick connect fittings to connect flexible high-pressure tubing to the quick connect ported
pumps.
To insert quick connect fittings, lubricate O-ring with water and twist fitting while inserting into pump port.
CAUTION
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of rigid pipe to plumb the inlet/outlet ports.
Tubing/hose should be flexible, compatible with potable water and rated for the pump’s maximum
pressure. At least 450mm (18” ) length is suggested to minimize stress on the fitting/ports and reduce
noise. Allow for the shortest possible tubing/hose route and avoid sharp bends that may kink over time.
The tubing/hose should be anchored where it meets rigid pipe/hard plumbing to reduce vibration.
Installation include potable water approved 50-mesh strainer is required to prevent foreign debris from
entering the system.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of rigid pipe to plumb the inlet/outlet ports.
If a check valve is installed in the plumbing, it must have a cracking pressure of no more than 2 psi
[.14 bar].
