INSTALLATION

 

(continued)

 

Step

 

Six

 

 

5.

 

Stand

 

Pipe:

  

A

 

standpipe

 

maybe

 

used

 

to

 

dampen

 

turbulence

 

or

 

when

 

foam

 

is

 

present

 

in

 

the

 

application.

  

 

a.

 

Pipe

 

can

 

be

 

made

 

of

 

any

 

material.

 

b.

 

Select

 

a

 

minimum

 

3”

 

ID

 

pipe

 

for

 

the

 

stand

 

pipe.

 

i.

 

A

 

2”

 

pipe

 

is

 

usable

 

with

 

the

 

LVU2810

 

series,

 

but

 

is

 

the

 

minimum.

 

ii.

 

Pipes

 

larger

 

than

 

3”

 

can

 

also

 

be

 

used.

 

c.

 

Use

 

a

 

coupling

 

and

 

reducer

 

bushing

 

to

 

attach

 

the

 

LVU2800

 

Series

 

to

 

the

 

pipe.

 

i.

 

With

 

the

 

LVU2810

 

series,

 

be

 

sure

 

to

 

use

 

a

 

plastic

 

reducing

 

bushing

 

2”

 

Thread

 

x

 

1”

 

Thread

 

fitting

 

or

 

2”

 

Slip

 

x

 

1”

 

Thread

 

fitting.

  

d.

 

The

 

pipe

 

length

 

should

 

run

 

the

 

measurement

 

span

 

and

 

the

 

bottom

 

of

 

the

 

pipe

 

should

 

remain

 

submerged

 

at

 

all

 

times

 

to

 

prevent

 

foam

 

from

 

entering

 

the

 

pipe.

 

e.

 

Cut

 

a

 

45°notch

 

at

 

the

 

bottom

 

of

 

the

 

pipe

 

and

 

drill

 

a

 

1/4”pressure

 

equalization

 

hole

 

in

 

the

 

dead

 

band.

   

f.

 

The

 

pumps

 

should

 

not

 

drive

 

liquid

 

past

 

the

 

open

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

stand

 

pipe

 

which

 

causes

 

the

 

liquid

 

in

 

the

 

pipe

 

to

 

oscillate.
