Changing the Orientation of the Fluid Inlet
and Outlet Ports

The pump is shipped with the fluid inlet (R) and outlet (S)
ports facing the same direction. See Fig. 4. To change the
orientation of the inlet and/or outlet port:

1.

Remove the screws (106 or 112) holding the inlet (102)
and/or outlet (103) manifold to the covers (101).

2.

Reverse the manifold and reattach. Install the screws
(106 or 112). Torque the manifold screws to 80 to 90
in-lb (9 to 10 N-m). See Fig. 4.

Fluid Pressure Relief Valve

Some systems may require installation of a pressure
relief valve at the pump outlet to prevent overpressur-
ization and rupture of the pump or hose. See Fig. 5.

Thermal expansion of fluid in the outlet line can cause
overpressurization. This can occur when using long
fluid lines exposed to sunlight or ambient heat, or when
pumping from a cool to a warm area (for example,
from an underground tank).

Overpressurization can also occur if the pump is being
used to feed fluid to a piston pump, and the intake
valve of the piston pump does not close, causing fluid
to back up in the outlet line.
