Installation
Piping
Both the suction and discharge are tapped for 1-1/4"
pipe. If you are using hose or plastic pipe for the suction
and discharge, install 1-1/4" MNPT x Hose Barb or
1-1/4" MNPT x 1-1/4" Slip adapter(s) in the pump port(s).
When hose is used for suction, be sure it is reinforced
hose designed for this purpose.
A strainer and foot valve should be used on the end
of suction pipe, or hose, to prevent loss of prime. It
will also prevent foreign material from entering the
pump which may damage the impeller and plug the
pump. Performance ratings are for 1" pipe. Capacity
will be reduced when garden type hose or smaller
piping is used. Inspect the strainer frequently and clean
when necessary.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications
involving salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine
will void warranty.
