Primer Mounted on Midship Pump
This option mounts the Hale SPV to the priming flange connection on a
“new” midship pump body with the priming pump mounted to the pump
gearbox. When this option is ordered, the vacuum hose is connected from
the Hale SPV to the priming pump.
Components included with this option and shipped with the midship pump
are the push button switch, panel placard and Installation Manual.
When completing the apparatus installation of the Hale SPV with this option
the push-button switch and panel placard must be installed on the operator
panel.
2.3 PVG PRIMING VALVE
The PVG is a combination valve and switch and is mounted on the pump
operator’s panel. (See Figure 2-3: “PVG Priming Valves.”)

Pulling the handle out OPENS the valve and energizes the primer motor.
Pushing the handle in de-energizes the primer motor and CLOSES the
valve.
2.4 LUBRICATED ESP PRIMER SYSTEM
The Hale ESP Priming System has a proven history of reliable fast priming
and high vacuum performance when properly maintained and operated in
accordance with the instructions found in your Pump Installation, Operation
and Service Maintenance Manual and in this guide. Under NORMAL oper-
ating conditions (standard climates) our research has found that no lubri-
cant is required.
