Piping Instructions
Piping Instructions
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed.
• Do not over-tighten piping connections.
1. Install a new, clean pipe for the suction line.
NOTE: Do not exceed 25 feet of total suction lift.
• Make sure piping rises vertically or is sloped continually upward from the water source to the
pump inlet connection with no high spots.
• Ensure that piping matches the pump connection sizes.
• Avoid the use of unions if possible.
• For long runs, increase connections by one pipe size.
2. Use pipe thread sealant on suction piping for airtight connections.
3. Install a strainer at the end of the suction line.
• Ensure the strainer remains well submerged at all times.
4. Install discharge piping.
5. Tighten the discharge pipe, using an opposing pipe wrench on the pump discharge.
• Ensure that piping matches the pump connection sizes.
• Avoid the use of unions if possible.
• For long runs, increase connections by one pipe size.
6. Install a check valve.
• All discharge piping must have a pressure rating capable of withstanding the incoming inlet
pressure plus the pump's maximum shut-off head pressure.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the pump under a no-flow/shut-off head condition.
7. Use pipe thread sealant on discharge piping for airtight connections.
Electrical Connections
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Failure to provide proper overload protection to the motor will void the warranty.
1. Employ an electrician.
2. Provide a separate circuit from the distribution panel to the pump unit, properly protected with a
fuse or circuit breaker.
