Pump to Tank and Service Line
Risk of bodily injury, property damage, or damage to system by pressurized
fluids.
• Do not install this product if incoming water pressure is greater than 75 psi. Serious damage to
plumbing can occur.
• A pressure relief valve (not included) rated to handle full pump flow at 75 psi should be installed in
the system to prevent personal injury or property damage.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Do not apply power to the system until the pump is primed. Do not run the pump dry, which can
cause overheating and damage the impeller and seals. This will void the warranty.
• Do not use open-style wrenches to loosen plugs. Plugs may become damaged and difficult to
remove.
• Red Lion is not responsible for personal injury or property damage due to improper installation.
1. Turn off the main water supply and the power at the main breaker.
2. Open a nearby faucet to release the water pressure in the system. Once all water and pressure is
released, turn off the faucet.
3. Modify the existing plumbing as required to allow for installation of the pump system.
IMPORTANT: Never install a check valve between the pump and the tank.
• The pump suction is 1¼ inch FNPT and the discharge is 1 inch FNPT fittings. Depending on the
size of the piping, adapters may need to be installed.
• Seal and tighten the threads of the suction and discharge openings on the pump with PTFE
tape or thread compound. Do not over-tighten the connections as this could crack the fittings.
• Make sure all joints are airtight as even a pinhole can prevent proper operation of the pump.
• Ensure the piping is as short and direct as possible.
• Refer to
"Typical Installations" on page 3
IMPORTANT: Ensure any burrs or shavings from cutting the pipes are completely removed to
prevent damage to the pump.
4. Install a pressure relief valve near the discharge rated to handle pump flow at 75 psi.
• Locate the relief valve near the discharge of the pump and in an area with adequate drainage.
• Orient the relief valve so that the valve will not spray toward the pump or other electrical
devises.
IMPORTANT: For well point installations, also attach a restrictive valve prior to the tank.
5. Add piping and coupling to join up to the service line.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the friction loss will never exceed 20 feet (6 m) of head.
6. For systems with a tank, make sure the pre-charge pressure of the tank is 28 psi, as this pump's
pre-charge pressure (or the pressure at which the pump will start) is 30 psi.
7. Add unions and valves to allow system service without disabling the complete water supply.
