MOUNTING
FLOJET Triplex Low Pressure Series pumps are self-priming. Vertical
prime may vary depending on the fluid viscosity, suction tube size,
foot valve, and pump configuration. The pump should be mount-
ed in a dry and adequately ventilated area. If mounted within an
enclosure, provisions to cool the motor may be necessary. When
wiring electrically driven pumps, follow all electrical and safety
codes, as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). Make certain the power
source conforms to the pump voltage, and be sure all power is dis-
connected before installation. The pump should be wired into an
individual (dedicated) circuit, controlled with an UL/C-UL certified
double pole switch rated at or above the fuse ampere indicated
on the pump motor label. On 115/230-volt AC pumps, the black
wire lead is live or common, the white lead wire is neutral and the
green/yellow is ground. On 230-volt AC pumps the brown wire lead
is live or common, the blue wire is neutral and the green/yellow
is ground. On 12 and 24 volt pumps the red lead is positive and
should be connected to the battery plus (+) terminal. The black
lead is ground and should be connected to the battery minus (-)
terminal. Use T6 AWG wire minimum. Use a fuse to protect the sys-
tem wiring and components.
Improper duty cycle and/or rapid start/stop conditions caused by
undersized spray nozzles will cause the internal thermal breaker
(if equipped) to trip, or can cause premature motor failure due to
excessive heat.
WARNING
Risk of an electrical shock!
Horizontal Position
DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE FLUIDS, GASOLINE, KEROSENE, OR ANY FUEL OIL
Vertical Position
DO NOT USE PUMP IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT
PLUMBING
Use flexible hose with the correct pressure rating that is compatible
with the fluid to be pumped. Tubing should be a minimum of 3/8"
(10 mm) ID and at least 20 inches (51 cm) in length to avoid ex-
cess stress on the pump ports. Do not crimp or kink the tubing. The
pump head may be rotated in 120° increments. Or reverse the flow
(180°) by using other optional lower housing to simplify plumbing.
FLOJET does not recommend the use of metal fittings; standard
plastic male and female threaded fittings can be acquired at com-
mercial plumbing supply stores.
FLOJET also distributes plastic barb fittings through our distributors
(form no. F100-001). The use of check valves in the plumbing sys-
tem could interfere with the priming ability of the pump. If a check
valve is installed in the plumbing, it must have a cracking pressure
of no more than 2 PSI (.14 bar). Use of a minimum 40-mesh strain-
er or filter in the pump inlet line will prevent foreign debris from
entering the system. Failures due to foreign debris entering the
pump will not be covered under the limited warranty.
Note: Inlet pressure must not exceed 30 PSI (2.1 bar) maximum.
