6.4.2 Hoses and Clamps Installation
Tighten hose clamps securely. Use provided 5/16
” hand driver for standard worm gear
clamps.
•
All hoses should be carefully routed and cut as short as the layout allows.
•
Use supplied green clamps to secure dip tubes or hoses to tank.
•
Attach inlet hose(s) to pump inlet(s) and tighten clamp(s).
•
If using dual magnetic low-level plates, attach hose(s), tighten clamps then install
one in tank.
o
Leave one magnetic low level out of the tank to use as a funnel for priming
pump.
•
If using single 2” dip tube, wait to attach inlet hose to dip tube until after priming.
•
1 ½” Return hose should be routed and attached to return dip tube in a way that
ensures the proper flow direction on the bottom of return tube. Reference the
directional mark on top.
•
1 ¼” Overflow hose should be short and have a direct, gradual slope down into the
tank.
o
Overflow hose MUST NOT be positioned higher than overflow port on
settling tank.
o
Overflow port on settling tank MUST BE higher than overflow dip tube in
machine tank.
•
80GPM to 60GPM conversion. (Optional
– Contact MP Systems)
1. For smaller tanks, 80GPM may be too high of a flow rate and cause
spillover.
2. Simple remove one hydro-
cyclone and it’s hose barbs from the manifold
assembly and install the provided 1” NPT plugs into the manifolds in place
of the hose barbs.
