PIPE CONNECTIONS

For best performance use P.V.c. or 
polythene pipes at least the same 
diameter as the pump’s inlet and 
delivery outlet openings. larger 
diameter pipe may be used to 
minimise resistance to flow when 
pumping longer distances.

use unions at pipe connections to enable easy 
removal and servicing. Use sufficient tape to ensure 
airtight seal and hand
tighten only. to prevent strain on pump threads 
always support heavy inlet and outlet pipes. If 
there is a likelihood the water supply may contain 
solid particles such as pieces of plant or vegetable 

matter, a filter should be installed before the pump to avoid blocking of 
water ways. lay suction pipe at a constant gradient to avoid air pockets 
which may reduce pump efficiency.

use unions at pipe connections to enable easy removal and servicing.  
Use sufficient tape to ensure airtight seal and do not over tighten.  To 
prevent strain on unit threads always support heavy inlet and outlet pipes.

NOTE: Suction leaks are the largest cause of poor pump performance and 

are difficult to detect.  Ensure all connections are completely sealed using 

thread tape only. 

Do not use pipe thread sealing compounds on any part of this pump.  ONLY 
use Teflon sealing tape.

NOTE: Prior to installation remove the transport plugs from the inlet, outlet 
and lamp end cap.

Do not use pipe thread sealing compounds (especially hemp) on any part 

of this unit.  ONLY use Teflon sealing tape.
