o
The CDR is shipped with no pump inlet fitting(s) installed. They can be
found in the kit.
o
For Dual Inlet configurations, install the assembled
2” NPT X 1 ¼” Barbs
fittings into the front of the pump using appropriate pipe sealant and ensure it
is fully tightened.
o
For Single inlet configurations, install the 2” NPT by 2” Barb. See photos for
reference.

Install Inlet Dip Tube(s)
o
The suction inlet(s) should be located as close to the chip conveyor coolant
outlet(s) as possible, or directly in the path of flow after the conveyor
outlet(s).
o
The idea is to pick up and filter the dirty coolant right as it enters the tank
before the debris has a chance to settle. If debris is allowed to settle, it will
remain in tank.
o
They can usually be installed through a spare coolant pump opening, or by
removing an access panel on the tank. In some applications, a hole may
need to be cut
to route the hose through properly. Refer to the “hole saw
guide” for info on how to cut holes in sheet metal.
o
In some scenarios, the two suction inlets will be installed in different areas of
the tank.
o
In other scenarios, it is perfectly fine to locate the two suction inlets near
each other.
▪
Be sure to provide some space (2” at least) between the two low level
plates.
o
For dual inlets, configure plumbing to allow for proper hose routing
depending on the location of the inlet plates. Most installs will use the 45-
degree fitting with barb. Ex 1.
