NOTE:
NorthStar does not recommend the use of metal fittings or rigid pipe to plumb the inlet/outlet
ports. Standard plastic threaded fittings are available by calling NorthStar Product Support at
1-800-270-0810.
In some cases, fittings may require a suitable thread sealer applied sparingly.
DO NOT
over-tighten; maximum torque is 45 in.-lb [5 N-m].
Tubing should be compatible with the spraying fluid. At least 18
"
[450mm] length is
suggested to minimize stress on the fitting/ports and reduce noise. Allow for the shortest
possible tubing route and avoid sharp bends that may kink over time.
Installation of a 50-mesh strainer is recommended to prevent foreign debris from entering
the system. Failures due to foreign debris are not covered under the warranty.
NOTE:
Restrictions on the inlet may cause a loss in performance. Inlet pressure must not exceed 30
psi [2.1 bar]
If a check valve is installed in the plumbing, it must have a cracking pressure of no more
than 2 psi [.14 bar].
CAUTION
Sealers and Teflon tape may act as lubricant causing cracked housings or stripped threads due to
over tightening. Care should be used when applying sealers; it may enter the pump inhibiting
valve action, causing no prime or no shut-off. Failures due to foreign debris are not covered
under the warranty.
