Installation

Protect pump from the elements by installing in a basement, garage, tool shed or pump house. Install the pump so the center line of the pump is as close as possible to the water level. Keep installation area clear to provide access for service and maintenance. Protect the pump against flooding and excess moisture.

Make sure the pump has adequate ventilation. The surrounding temperature should not exceed 100°F (38°C) or nuisance tripping of the motor may occur.

PUMP PIPING INSTALLATION

Use new pipe for best results. Galvanized or plastic pipe can be used. When using galvanized pipe, provide independent supports for both suction and discharge piping near the pump to avoid strain on the pump. Minimize use of elbows and fittings to reduce friction loss. Refer to the friction loss chart for specific information.

Increase diameter of suction or discharge piping if length is over 50 feet.

SUCTION PIPING

Install foot valve or strainer screen

over intake of suction piping.

Never use pipe smaller than 2” in diameter for suction piping. The suction pipe must be kept free of air leaks. For horizontal runs, lay pipe from the water source so the upward slope is at least 1/2” per foot. This eliminates trapped air. The threaded inlet of the pump is 2” NPT.

Do not install suc-
