4. Installation
 
NOTE: For pumps operating in swimming pool 
installations the pump is to be supplied by an isolating 
transformer or through a residual current device (RCD). 
1. The pump can be installed either vertically or 
horizontally (See Figure 2). Make sure to secure the 
pump on a flat level surface that will support 50-lbs 
(22kg) and secure with four .25-in (6mm) screws in the 
holes provided. The guard snaps into the back of the 
pump via three tangs (See Figure 1). The pump should 
be mounted with no less than 1.75-in (44mm) of 
clearance around the venting on both the front and the 
rear of the pump. Locate the pump so there is direct 
access to the power cord plug. 
 
The pump is rated for indoor use only. For applications 
that are subject to splashing make sure the pump is 
mounted horizontally level with splash guard in place. 
Vertical mountings require the purchase of optional 
hood (J63004). 
 
2. Verify the electrical requirements for the pump 
as listed on the name plate and connect to an appropriate electrical source in 
compliance with local codes for the specific application. 
 
3. Relieve the system pressure and drain the piping run where the injection 
fitting is to be installed. See Figure 2 for reference. The injection fitting must 
not be installed in a dead end pipe or a deeply recessed tee. It should be 
installed so as to place the tip at the center of the fluid stream as indicated 
in Figure 2. The injection fitting is supplied with .25-in NPT threads. If necessary 
drill a .44-in (11mm) diameter hole, and using care not to tap to deeply, tap for 
.25-in NPT.
