SHURFLO® LO-FLO 105 SERIES RV PUMPS
INSTALLATION MANUAL
SHURFLO Lo-Flo 105 Series RV pumps are rugged, lightweight, compact and provide the ability to self-prime and run dry.
Standard features include a pressure demand switch, built in 3/8” hose barb ports, flexible mounting feet, splash proof motor,
and thermal protector. All with the security that comes with a UL Recognized Component.
INSTALLATION
SHURFLO Lo-Flo 105 Series RV pumps are self-priming and can be located up to 2.5
feet above the water level. Horizontal and vertical prime vary depending on the fluid
viscosity and pump configuration. The pump can be at the same level or below the
tank.
❚ The pump should be located in an area that is dry and properly ventilated to pre-
vent heat build-up.
❚ Use 50-mesh strainer minimum at the inlet side of the pump. Use flexible hose on
inlet.
❚ The pump can be mounted in any position. However, if mounting the pump verti-
cally the pump head should be in the down position so that in the event of a leak,
fluid will not enter the motor.
❚ 12 Volt pump must be provided with a 5-amp fuse.
❚ Recommended wire size is 16 gauge (1.3 mm) or larger wire as determined by volt-
age drop. Negative (-) must be connected to a known ground. Ground wire must be
the same (gauge/mm) as the positive.
