SEA STRAINER
Mount the sea strainer with the provided 3/4" NPT nylon nipple directly to
the intake of the 20 micron pre-filter housing. If an optional boost pump is
required (refer to “Available Options and Accessories”), mount the sea
strainer in a serviceable location in between the sea-cock of your choice
and the boost pump.
CAUTION:
To avoid excessive mechanical stress, do not mount the sea
strainer directly to the sea-cock.
Connect the barbed fittings with the supplied coil reinforced intake hose and secure all hoses below water
level with two hose clamps. For boost pump installation refer to the installation instructions for optional
equipment (page 11).
FILTER HOUSINGS
Mount the pre-filter in a serviceable location and connect the bottom port of the cleaning / storage valve
with the 5/8” reinforced vinyl hose to the intake hose barb fitting of the high-pressure pump (lower fitting).
Secure the hose with hose supplied clamps.
CAUTION: Install all plumbing to eliminate any air pockets in the system.
CAUTION:
If you have to re-seal NPT fittings, use a maximum of three wraps of Teflon tape on the
threads. Always keep the tape back from the end of the fittings (at least two threads). Do not allow any
tape to enter the system.
HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
The high pressure hose has factory mounted high pressure couplings on each end (also included are two
field attachable fittings). This hose comes in a 15 feet / 4.5 m length, so it may be cut to suit your needs.
Leave a little extra length of hose to avoid stress on the system components.
CAUTION: Never bend the high pressure hose tighter than a 6”/15 cm radius.
Assembly instructions for the stainless steel field attachable high-pressure couplings
1) Cut the hose in a clean 90
angle preferably with a cutting disc or fine tooth hacksaw.
2)
Un-assemble the coupling (remove threaded inner part from outer part).
