SITING OF THE PUMP/PIPEWORK
WARNINGS:

Pump Location
If possible site the pump in a location where in the unlikely event of a
liquid leak, any spillage is contained or routed to avoid electrics or
areas sensitive to liquid damage.

Care should be taken to protect the pump from frost and freezing.
 Ensure pipework to and from pump is independently supported to
prevent stress on the pump inlet and outlet branches.
 Do not fit a non-return valve, or devices which contain non-return
valves, in the suction (inlet) pipework to the pump. Exceptions can
be made in the case of suction lift installations when a footvalve is
required.
 When a footvalve is required on installations that incorporate
automatic pump control, it is recommended that a suitable pressure
relief valve be fitted in the discharge (outlet) pipework from the pump.

Do not run against a closed valve for periods longer than 5 minutes.
 Do not allow plastic pump parts to come into contact with oil or
cellulose based paints, paint thinners or strippers, acid based
descalents or aggressive cleaning agents.
 Do not introduce solder flux to pumps or pump parts manufactured
from plastic. All solder joints should be completed and flux residues
removed prior to pump connection.
 The motor casing can become very hot under normal operating
conditions. Care should be taken to ensure it cannot be touched
during operation.
 Always install isolating valves to both suction and delivery pipework.
Site the pump in a horizontal, dry, frost-free position where it cannot be sprayed with
water and as close to the liquid source as possible.
