Teflon Taping Instructions:

Use only new or clean PVC pipe fittings.

Wrap male pipe threads with one to two layers of Teflon tape. Cover entire
threaded portion of pipe.

Do not 

overtighten or tighten past thread stop in pump port!

If leaks occur, remove pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap with one to two addi-
tional layers of tape and remake the connection.

NOTICE: Support all piping connected with pump!

Piping:

To avoid strains on the pump, support both suction and discharge pipes or
hoses independently. Place these supports near the pump.

To avoid airlocking, slope suction pipe slightly upward toward the pump.

NOTICE: 

To prevent flooding when removing pump for service, all flooded

suction systems 

must 

have gate valves in suction and discharge pipes.

Union available for pump discharge port (Part number WC198-105). Use as
follows for leak-free connection to pump:

1. O-Ring and sealing surfaces must be clean.

2. Assemble handtight only! (NO WRENCHES!)

3. NO pipe compound or teflon tape on union.

4. Bond pipe to union with PVC cement.

Use PVC cement only in a well ventilated area away from flame; 

FOLLOW MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS!

Fittings:

Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings.
Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap.
