INSTALLATION OF THE PUMP
IMPORTANT: The pump MUST NOT be connected to the mains power supply
until all hose/pipe installations are completed.
If any part of the system is to be connected to the mains water supply, do
ensure that you comply with your local water authority regulations.
Because of the variety of possible installations, no plumbing accessories are
supplied as standard with your pump. However, accessories designed
specifically for this range of pumps are available from your CLARKE dealer.
The pump must always be installed and operated in a horizontal position i.e.
with the outlet port facing vertically upwards. The fixing holes in the base
should be used as necessary to secure the pump firmly in its operating
position. Also, ensure that there is adequate air circulation around the motor.
Avoid situations where there is the risk of water coming into contact with the
outside of the pump. Neither the motor or the terminal box are designed to be
waterproof.
These notes are for guidance on
how to achieve a proper
working system.
The schematic diagram
opposite illustrates a typical
pipework installation.
The suction lift i.e. the vertical
distance between the water
level and the pump should not
exceed the distance specified
for your pump.
A foot valve and filter should be fitted to the lower
end of the suction hose, as illustrated below, so as to
help retain water in the suction system and to
prevent the possibility of large foreign bodies entering
the pump body.
A 1” BSP hose adapter will be required for connection
to the inlet port. This is available from your dealer.
The performance of your pump will be effected by
the diameter of the inlet pipe - any restriction will
greatly reduce the flow. We strongly recommend
that you use a diameter pipe which is as large as
practicable, with a suitable reducer for connection
to the 1” BSP inlet adapter.
