Installation
Grounding
Pump:
grounded through electrical cord.
Fluid lines:
use only electrically conductive lines.
Fluid supply container:
follow local code.
Flush Before Using Equipment
The equipment was tested with water. To avoid contam-
inating your fluid with water, flush the equipment with a
compatible solvent before using the equipment. See
, page 9.
Location Requirements
Select a mounting location convenient to both the chem-
ical supply and a source of power for the pump.
Plumbing Requirements for Stainless Steel / Plastic Fluid Sections
The Mongoose pump uses carefully matched compo-
nents to achieve a predictable metering output. This
predictability can only be maintained if all fitting sizes
remain unaltered.
All connections should be double checked to insure
against leakage. If hazardous chemicals are being
pumped, use shielding around outlet fluid lines. NOTES:
•
There is an approximate 2.5 psi capability lost for
every 1 foot of
vertical rise of the outlet fluid line to
the injection point.
•
Do not
attempt to reduce tubing size; this may
reduce performance of unit.
Stainless Steel Fluid Section Models
Inlet and outlet valves are both 1/4 in. NPT fittings.
NOTE:
Apply PTFE tape to threads on NPT fittings.
Plastic Fluid Section Models
Inlet and outlet valves use 3/8 in. or 1/4 in. tubing con-
nectors, and 3/8 in. or 1/4 in. tubing. See F
NOTE:
The prime/bleed valve on the plastic fluid section
includes a 1/16 in. clear poly tubing. This tubing is to be
used only with the prime/bleed valve and is not intended
for pressurized use. Do not use with the inlet and outlet
valves.
Tighten connectors no more than a 1/4 turn after the
connection feels snug. Hand tighten only. Do not over-
tighten.
NOTE:
Do not apply PTFE tape to threads.
NOTICE
It is recommended that adequate surge protection be used
in order to protect products from voltage changes in your
application.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking and electric shock. Electric or static
sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode.
Improper grounding can cause electric shock.
Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric
current.
•
Never remove ground wire from plug. Connect to
grounded outlet protected by Class A GFCI.
NOTICE
In order to prevent over pumping at low back pressure (less
than 50 PSI) install an inline check valve on the outlet line.
NOTICE
Do not install the pump in a location where the ambient
temperature exceeds 120
o
F (50
o
C). Higher temperatures
will affect the output as well as the useful life of the pump.
