Fitting the Torrium2 directly to the Pump
The Torrium2 is fitted with a rotary coupling. This
coupling allows the pump controller to be fitted simply
and easily to the pump discharge on models with 1”
female outlets.
For Davey models the coupling has an o-ring seal. If
used on other brands, thread tape may be required. The
controller adaptor nut is able to rotate independent of
the Torrium2 and the complete pump, this allows it to be
tightened onto the pump easily. For ease of installation
a tightening tool is included with Torrium2 to tighten
the controller nut to ensure a firm connection to your
controller.
The ability to rotate the adaptor nut also means that
the complete controller, once fitted to the pump, can
be rotated a full 360
o
in the horizontal plane, without
causing the coupling to unscrew from the pump outlet.
For pumps with a 1” male outlet (e.g. XP350, XP450,
XJ50, XJ70 and XJ90) a adaptor socket (P/No. 44992)
is required. When used with a Davey XP, or XJ model
the o-rings included with the adapter socket will seal
this fitting. If used on other models thread sealing tape
may be needed.
Fitting the P/No. 32574 adaptor flange for adapting to earlier
Hydrascan and Torrium flanges.
First, fit the Torrium2 controller with the adaptor flange using a thread tape to seal, then fit
the Torrium2 to the existing union nut on the pump.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
The control unit is capable of 360° rotation without loosening the nut, to enable the most
convenient positioning of the discharge piping.
With Torrium2 you can connect the discharge pipework to the
discharge port and/or the vertical priming port. The priming port is able
to be used as a discharge port.
Extra Draw-off Capacity
The Torrium2 controller has an in-built accumulator which will accommodate small leaks.
In some applications it may be appropriate to install additional accumulator (Supercell
pressure tank) capacity. These applications includes:
• Long suction lines (see Suction Lines / Lift)
• Low flow appliances connected to the pump, such as evaporative air conditioners,
slow filling toilet cisterns, etc.
Any additional accumulators can be installed downstream of the controller (ie. between
the controller and the first outlet).
Where extra draw-off capacity is utilised the additional pressure tank should have a pre-
charge of 70% of the maximum system (shut-off) pressure.
