SUGGESTED INSTALLATION
NTG80 NOMAD TRANS-FLO™
The suction pipe size should be at least 76mm (3")
diameter or larger if highly viscous material is being
pumped. The suction hose must be non-collapsible,
reinforced type as the NTG80 is capable of pulling
a high vacuum. Discharge piping should be at least
76 mm (3"); larger diameter can be used to reduce
friction losses. It is critical that all ttings and con-
nections are airtight or a reduction or loss of pump
suction capability will result.
Every pump location should have an air line large
enough to supply the volume of air necessary to
achieve the desired pumping rate.
Unnecessary elbows, bends and ttings should be
avoided. Pipe sizes should be selected so as to keep
friction losses within practical limits. All piping should
be supported independently of the pump.
Expansion joints can be installed to aid in absorbing
the forces created by the natural reciprocating action
of the pump. Flexible connections between the pump
and rigid piping will also assist in minimizing pump
vibration. A surge suppressor should be installed to
protect the pump, piping and gauges from surges and
water hammer.
When pumps are installed in applications involving
ooded suction or suction head pressures, a gate
valve should be installed in the suction line to permit
closing of the line for pump service.
The NTG80 can be used in submersible applica-
tions only when both wetted and no-wetted portions
are compatible with the material being pumped. If
the pump is to be used in a submersible application,
a hose should be attached to the pump’s air exhaust
and the exhaust air piped above the liquid level.
PERFORMANCE
NTG80 METAL
PTFE-FITTED
Flow rates indicated on chart were determined by pumping water.
For optimum life and performance, pumps should be specified so that daily operation
parameter will fall in the center of the pump performance curve.

1Displacement per stroke was calculated at
4.8 bar (70 psig) air inlet pressure against a 2
bar (30 psig)head pressure.
Example: To pump 378 lpm (100 gpm)
against a discharge pressure head of 2.1
bar (30 psig) requires 4.1 bar (60 psig) and
136 Nm3/h (80 scfm) air consumption.
(See dot on chart.)
Caution: Do not exceed 8.6 bar (125 psig) air
supply pressure.
