PIPING
1. Plastic or galvanized steel pipe may be used
in the installation. Plastic pipe must have a
minimum pressure rating 160 P.S.I. Galvanized
steel pipe must be in good condition free of rust
and scale. Threads should be sharp, cleanly
cut.
2. Both the suction and discharge pipe should be
no smaller than the corresponding tappings
of the pump (See Figure 1). If long runs are
encountered larger pipe should be used.
Smaller pipe will reduce the capacity of the
pump.
3. All joints and connections should have pipe
sealing compound (male threads only) applied
and drawn up tightly.
CAUTION: The entire system must be air and water
tight for efficient operation.
PUMP INSTALLATION
1. Refer to Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6 for typical
installations. If galvanized pipe is used, both the
suction and discharge pipe should be supported
at a point near the pump to avoid strains being
placed on the pump.
2. The suction pipe should slope upwards from the
water source to the pump. Locate the pump
as close to the water as possible keeping the
suction pipe as short as conditions permit.
3 Avoid dips or pockets in offset piping or air
will accumulate at high points which will make
priming difficult.
4. A foot valve located in the water or a check
valve located as close to the water as possible
will reduce priming time of the pump and help
maintain prime. A strainer must be used on the
suction line to filter out dirt and debris.
5. Install a gate valve and union in the discharge
line. For removal of the pump for service, close
the gate valve and disconnect the union.
CAUTION: Do not use a globe valve or other
restricting type of valve at the discharge. This will
seriously restrict the capacity of the pump.
