Installation
1. The reservoir is mounted vertical not more than 3 feet (.9 m) from
the seal gland to the vertical centerline of the reservoir. The bottom
of the reservoir is mounted 12 to 24 inches (.3m to .6 m) above the
horizontal centerline of the pump.
2. All lines from the seal cavity to the reservoir must slope upward at
all points. The upward slope should be a minimum of 1/4" per foot
(24 cm/m) with all bends being large radius. The minimum size for
pipe or tubing should be 1/2" (13 mm) diameter.
3. Connect the supply connection (lower seal connection on the
reservoir) to the bottom (inlet) gland connection.
4. Connect the return connection (upper seal connection on the
reservoir) to the upper (outlet) gland connection.
5. If valves are used to isolate the seal chamber and the reservoir
make sure these are fully open while filling and during operation.
6. If the reservoir is equipped with cooling coils, connect cooling water
lines to the reservoir at the cooling coil points.
7. Remove all plastic plugs and properly seal or attach tubing with
metal fittings.
