INSTALLATION
Location
Decide on a location for the pump installation that is suitable based on the enclosure rating of the Inline Pressure Boosting System. Choose a clean,
well-ventilated location that provides protection from freezing, flooding, and excessive heat. In addition, it should provide access for servicing and
allow convenient draining of the pump housing, tank, and service pipes. A prepared foundation is not essential, provided the surface is hard and level.
NOTE:
Should the unlikely event of internal leakage occur, install the pump in such a way that no collateral damage can arise.
Inline 400 Installation Orientation
(refer to Figure 1 if necessary)
It is preferred (for ease of priming) to install the Inline 400 unit in a VERTICAL orientation. The unit, however, can be installed in the HORIZONTAL
position as long as the air-bleed valve is facing upwards.

Air-bleed Valve
In VERTICAL installations, the Inline 400 comes standard with the flow direction being from LEFT to RIGHT when mounted vertically on a wall. This flow
direction can be easily changed to RIGHT to LEFT by removing the two head mounting bolts, rotating the pump 180 degrees, and re-installing the head
mounting bolts. It is then possible to remove the (6) control cap screws and rotate 180 degrees to place the status display in a viewable orientation.
NOTE: Be careful when rotating the control cap as there is an electrical cable attached to the head.
