Installation
Protect pump from the elements by
installing in a basement, garage, tool
shed or pump house. Install the pump so
the centerline of the pump is as close as
possible to the water level. Keep installa-
tion area clear to provide access for ser-
vice and maintenance. Protect the pump
against flooding and excess moisture.
Make sure the pump has adequate ven-
tilation. The surrounding temperature
should not exceed 100
o F (38 o C) or nui-
sance tripping of the motor may occur.
PUMP PIPING INSTALLATION
Use new pipe for best results.
Galvanized or plastic pipe can be used.
When using galvanized pipe, provide
independent supports for both suction
and discharge piping near the pump to
avoid strain on the pump. Minimize use
of elbows and fittings to reduce friction
loss. Refer to the friction loss chart for
specific information.
Increase diameter of suction or dis-
charge piping if length is over 50 feet.
SUCTION PIPING
Install foot valve
or strainer screen
over intake of suction piping.
Never use pipe smaller than 2” in
diameter for suction piping. The suc-
tion pipe must be kept free of air leaks.
