INSTALLATION
Correct installation can be complex and should only be undertaken by qualified and
experienced personnel.
CAUTION: during installation all regulations for safety and good practice must be
followed.
Install the pump in a dry and well ventilated location with room temperature not more than +40
°C (+104 °F).
The machine must be placed on a solid and clean surface in horizontal position, feet down. To
reduce vibrations block the machine with the bolts to the surface and install some vibration
dumpers.
Pipes:
Install the pipes well anchored on the pump to avoid transmitting vibrations compound
to the pump ports. Ensure the pipes are fully sealed with jointing compound to the pump ports,
otherwise it can damage the pump. On the internal diameter of pipes, which must never be less
than the diameter of the pump connections, depends the delivery of the pump. Pumps are
supplied with thread ports, so three pipe unions are recommended at suction and delivery ports.
Working with leakage from the pipes or from the shaft, damage the water system (or the pump)
and can damage the close equipment.
With rigid pipe, a damper joint (flexible connection) should be installed close to the pump to
reduce stresses on the pump head. Check all pump are clear and free of obstruction or
retraction. Check that suction and delivery pipes are correctly connected to pump ports.
Suction pipes:
When suction pipe length is in excess of 10 mt. or where there are many
curves, use pipe with a bigger diameter than the suction point. Suction pipe must be completely
air tight with and an upward inclination to avoid sir-sack.
Application with Expansion Tank
For minimal delivery demands, the application of a small expansion tank downstream from the
Control-Press allows for reducing the pump start-ups .
It is recommended to contact our technical department before install it.
