bolts to be put into the pump so it can be secured to a sturdy base. When mounting your Hypro centrifugal pump, be
sure to use bolts and nuts which are compatible with any chemicals that may come into contact with them as well as
choosing the correct grade of bolt based on the pump weight and any expected loads. Pumps should be mounted
as close to the liquid source as possible. Non self-priming pumps must be mounted below the liquid level to function
properly.
Pump Plumbing
• To achieve maximum pump performance the outlet port on the pump should be pointing staight up, and pump
inlet and outlet lnes should be at least the same size as their respective port. Pump plumbing must be capable of
withstanding the maximum suction, and pressure, generated by the pump and should have as few restrictions as
possible.
• Ensure plumbing is properly supported so that the pump casing does not carry the weight. Connect either rigid pipe or

• Depth of suction inlet at least four (4) times the diameter of suction pipe to avoid forming vortexes.
Example: Pipe x 4 = 8” minimum depth.
Discharge Connections
• Your pump is equipped with a single port discharge. Select the appropriate size for the application. Install a “T”
as shown to allow easy priming of the pump without disconnecting the piping, or by using the priming plug on the
housing.

INSTALLATION LOCATION
Place unit as close to water source as possible to minimize suction lift, obtain the best pumping performance, and aid in
priming.
ATTENTION: Settling and/or shifting during operation can cause piping to place excessive strain on the pump and may
damage pump case. Set pump on hard level surface.

are bonded to earth (ground), per local and national standards, to prevent a buildup of static electricity.
• When a main electrical supply is needed to power electric-driven motors, installers are responsible for ensuring
that a supply disconnect device, capable of isolating the machine from its electicity supply, be provided.
• It is the installer’s responsibility to conduct electrical tests in accordance with EN60204-1:2006/A1:2009, or its
