Typical Installation Layout
Note: Do not install an in-line
check valve, as the unit
already has an internal
valve.
Supply Line
The pump and the tank should be located close to each other (preferably within 50 feet) with
as few changes in direction of the supply line, as possible. This reduces the possibility of unit
vapor lock (gasoline only), attains the highest possible flow rate, and results in a lower
installation cost. Avoid long supply lines and excessive vertical lifts. The dynamic lift for this
unit is rated at 12 feet (3.66 m) for gasoline and 13 feet (3.96 m) for diesel and can vary
according to conditions of the installation and fuel temperature. To increase maximum flow
rate, attempt to keep the lift as small as possible.
Use new galvanized or fiberglass pipe. The riser should be 1-1/2-inches (38.1 mm) diameter.
Note: Fiberglass pipe is to be installed according to manufacturer’s specifications and
requirements.
