Mountings

CAUTION

The pump exhaust air may contain contaminants. Ventilate to a remote area if the contaminants could affect your fluid supply. See Air Exhaust Ventilation on page 10.

•Be sure the mounting surface can support the weight of the pump, hoses, and accessories, as well as the stress caused during operation.

•For all mountings, be sure the pump is bolted directly to the mounting surface.

•For ease of operation and service, mount the pump so the air valve cover (2), air inlet, and fluid inlet and outlet ports are easily accessible.

Air Line

A bleed-type master air valve (B) is required in the sys- tem to relieve air trapped between this valve and the pump. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unex- pectedly, which could result in serious injury, including splashing in the eyes or on the skin, injury from moving parts, or contamination from hazardous fluids. See FIG. 2.

1.Install the air line accessories as shown in FIG. 2. Mount these accessories on the wall or on a bracket. Be sure the air line supplying the accesso- ries is grounded.

a.Install an air regulator (C) and gauge to control the fluid pressure. The fluid outlet pressure will be the same as the setting of the air regulator.

b.Locate one bleed-type master air valve (B) close to the pump and use it to relieve trapped air. See the WARNING above. Locate the other master air valve (E) upstream from all air line accessories and use it to isolate them during cleaning and repair.

c.The air line filter (F) removes harmful dirt and moisture from the compressed air supply.

Installation

In the step below, do not connect the quick-disconnect coupler (D) on the air hose to the mating fitting on the pump until you are ready to operate the pump. Connect- ing the coupler too early can result in unintentional oper- ation of the pump, leading to serious injury from moving parts, splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin, and con- tact with hazardous fluids.

2.Install a grounded, flexible air hose (A) between the accessories and the 1/2 npt(f) pump air inlet (N). See Fig. 5. Use a minimum 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) ID air hose. Screw an air line quick disconnect coupler (D) onto the end of the air hose (A), and screw the mat- ing fitting into the pump air inlet snugly.

Fluid Suction Line

1.Use flexible, grounded fluid hoses.

2.For best sealing results, use a standard Tri-Clamp® style sanitary gasket of a flexible material such as EPDM, Buna-N, fluoroelastomer, or silicon.

3.If the fluid inlet pressure to the pump is more than 25% of the outlet working pressure, the ball check valves will not close fast enough, resulting in ineffi- cient pump operation.

4.At inlet fluid pressures greater than 15 psi (0.1 MPa, 1 bar), diaphragm life will be shortened.

5.See the Technical Data on pages 32, 40, and 48 for maximum suction lift (wet and dry).
