SPV Retrofit Installation, Universal Mount

When installing the Hale SPV assembly with a universal mounting adapter 
use the following procedures.  (See Figure 3-6: “Typical SPV / Universal 
Adapter Pump Installation.”) 

Figure 3-6: Typical SPV / Universal Adapter Pump Installation

1.

Place the apparatus out of service in accordance with departmental  
procedures.

CAUTION !

MAKE SURE THE HALE SPV IS LOCATED HIGHER THAN THE PUMP BODY 
ALLOWING WATER TO DRAIN FROM THE VACUUM HOSE.

2.

Determine location of the SPV Universal Mounting adapter on the appa-
ratus.  When choosing a location make sure there is minimum of 5” (127 
mm) clearance for hose connections.
