2. Pump orientation and flow direction
• The pump may be installed to discharge up or down,
left or right, but the motor shaft must be horizontal.
• An arrow on the motor housing indicates the direction
of flow (see Fig. 5).
Fig. 5. Install pump so that the motor shaft is horizontal.
3. Check Valve installation
If an integrated check valve is desired, one may be
purchased separately and installed as follows:
• Ensure that the discharge outlet of the circulator is free
of debris.
• Hold the check valve so that the end with the O-ring
goes into the pump first. Then press the check valve
into the compartment on the outlet side of the
circulator. Press firmly until it clicks into place (see
Fig. 6).
NOTE: Pump must not be installed in upright
orientation.
4. Connect the pump
• Connect the pump to the piping system using included
flange gaskets.
• If necessary, use pipe hangers on either side of the
pump to minimize pipe-strain.
5. Changing conduit position (optional)
• It is good practice to install the pump so the conduit
connection is pointing downward (see Fig. 7).
• To change where the wiring comes into the pump,
support the motor assembly while removing the four (4)
screws on the motor assembly using a 5/32 in. (4mm)
L-shaped hex head wrench.
• Rotate the motor assembly to the desired position and
replace the screws.
• Tighten evenly, moving diagonally from one screw to
the next until you reach 44 in.-lbs.

• Check that the rotor shaft turns freely. If it does not turn
easily, disassemble and reassemble the unit again.

WIRING
CAUTION
Voltage Hazard.
Can cause electrical shock or equipment
damage. Disconnect power before beginning
installation. Wiring must comply with applicable
codes, ordinances, and regulations and be
performed by a qualified electrician.
6. Electrical connection
• Loosen the two screws securing the wire box cover.
• Use 12 AWG to 14 AWG copper wires (follow local code
for any wiring restrictions),
• Connect the line (hot) wire to the L terminal and the
neutral wire to the N terminal (max 4.4 in.-lbs). Wire
should be rated to 194°F (90°C) or greater and be in
accordance with UL 778/13.10.
• Connect the ground wire to the ground screw inside the
box. (See Fig. 8).
• Reattach the box cover and ensure that the conduit or
wire cable is secure in the strain relief connector.
