THOROUGHLY REVIEW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY WORK
ON THIS PUMP.
MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY DECALS.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION
Unit should be mounted on a firm, level base and in a
convenient location, where it is protected from freezing.
Unit should not be completely enclosed as adequate clean
air for ventilation is necessary for proper operation of
motor and to prevent overheating.
If unit is installed in kitchen, sink cabinet, playroom or
other place where moisture might be objectionable it is
suggested that a pan be located under the entire unit to
catch the condensation drip that may collect on the unit
during humid weather.

end to suction check valve on pump. Observe the following
instruction:
1. Use adequate pipe sizes, never smaller than
under positive suction head (see page 3). Where total
pipe length between pump and source of supply is over
25 ft., use the following table to determine pipe size. An
increaser fitting will be required at pump.

SIZE
SUCTION PIPE
Note: The total suction lift, which includes the vertical
distance between the pumping level of the water and the
pump plus the friction loss in the pipe should not exceed
25 feet.
2. All piping or tubing should be inspected to make sure it
contains no scale, dirt or other foreign material that
might impair operation of pump.
3. All joints must be air tight. A good pipe compound
should be used.
4. A union should be installed in the suction line close to
the pump. Packed unions are preferable. If ground
unions are used they must be carefully aligned.
5. On suction lines 50 feet or more in length, a foot valve
can be used to lessen priming time. Install a tee in the
suction line for priming. When a foot valve is used,
prime pump through priming opening and suction line
through opening in tee.
6. Dug or drilled wells should be vented.
DISCHARGE PIPING
Connect house service pipe to
valve in the discharge line close to the pump will facilitate
working on pump without draining entire house system.
WATER HEATERS
A check valve should be installed close to pump in the
discharge line between pump and water heater or other
heating appliance to prevent hot water from entering
pump. Be sure water heater or other heating device is
equipped with a temperature and pressure relief valve.
WIRING
Do not run pump until it has been filled to the
WARNING
priming opening with clear water (see
PRIMING, page 3).
Standard motors furnished are 115/230V, single phase, 60
hz, A.C. motors.
Dual voltage motors will be wired for 115 volts. They can be
changed to 230 volts by following the instructions on the
motor or on the nameplate.
1. Use wire of sufficient size to maintain adequate voltage
at motor terminals while pump is running. Voltage
variations of plus or minus 10% from nameplate value
are allowable at motor terminals.
2. Motor circuits should be properly protected according
to NEC, CSA, state, provincial and local electric wiring
codes.
