3. Inlet Pressure Requirements 

The amount of pressure required at the inlet of the pump is a 
function of the temperature of the water as shown in Table 2B.

In a pressurized system, the required inlet pressure is the 

minimum allowable system pressure.
In a system open to the atmosphere, the required inlet 

pressure is the minimum distance the pump must be 

located below the lowest possible water level of the water 

source (tank, pool, etc.).

 

Installation

Position of terminal box:

 

Proper installation of the pump 

will have the terminal box located to one side of the pump 

or the other, with the conduit entry down. See Figure 3A.

If the terminal box position needs to be changed, it is 

best to do so before installation. However, if the pump 

is already installed, ensure that the electrical supply is 

turned off and close the isolation valves before removing 

the  Allen screws.
To change terminal box position:

1.  Remove the four (4) Allen screws (4 or 5mm 

  wrench) while supporting the stator (motor).
2.  Carefully separate the stator from the pump 

  chamber and rotate it to the correct terminal box  

 orientation.
3.  Replace the Allen screws and tighten diagonally and  

  evenly (7 ft.-lb. torque).
4.  Check that the impeller turns freely.  If the impeller  

  does not turn easily, repeat the disassembly/ 

 

  reassembly process.
