Suction Hose
The first step in preparing the pump for operation is to install the suction hose
．
For the suction hose
，
use a
reinforced-wall or wire braided hose to prevent suction collapse
．
A short hose is recommended over a long
hose
．
The pumps have standard National Pipe Threads on them
；
therefore
，
any standard hose set will fit
with the pump
．
If your hoses are metric threads or any other standard
，
please give our company a call we
carry a full line of adapters or provide you with a possible solution
．
NOTE
：
Always install the provided strainer on the end of the suction hose before pumping If gravel or debris
enters the pump
，
the impeller can be seriously damaged
．
Shown below is the pump hose wtilizing a barbed connection and hose clamp
．
If you already have speciali-
zed hose
，
disregard the following diagram
．
When using the barbed conection setup
，
make sure to use a
hose clamp to properly secure the hose to the barh connector
