Installation Instructions
Plumbing
The installation must comply with the relevant
requirements or local bye-laws.
The pump MUST be mounted upright (shaft
horizontal – not screwed down). Pump must
be adequately vented, protected from frost,
with access provided for servicing.
Jointing compounds, Boss White, Hemp
and Steel Wool, MUST NOT BE USED.
SOLDER FLUXES MUST NOT COME INTO
CONTACT WITH THE PUMP (THIS WILL
INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY).
All associated pipework MUST be thoroughly
flushed before making final connections to
the pump. Fill the pump with water before
connecting to the discharge pipework.
The in-line filters must be fitted into the hose
connections on the hot and cold inlet supplies
to the pump.
MAXIMUM STATIC HEAD – 10 METRES.
In ALL pump systems it is essential to
ensure that the hot and cold stored water
capacity is sufficient to meet the household
requirements.
Hose connections (do not bend)
Fitted with 3⁄4” BSP x 22mm Push Fit couplers
The coupler nuts need only be finger
tight plus one quarter turn. Mechanical
tools must not be used to tighten coupler
nuts as this may cause damage which will
invalidate your warranty.
The hoses are supplied – two each angled
and straight with each pump.
This arrangement of couplers facilitates the
connection of the supply pipework from
any direction.
The Plumbing installation must comply
with “The Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations, BS 8558:20418. BSEN806.4
building regulations.
Electrical
The electrical installation must be carried
out in accordance with the current national
electrical regulations (BS 7671:2018, Building
(Scotland) Act 2003, or Building Regulations
(Northern Ireland) 2000). This pump must be
installed by a competent person, and must be
fitted with a 5A rated fuse. Higher rated fuses
MUST NOT be used.
All pipework must be cross-bonded in
accordance with IET regulations.
The motor shell will become hot during
pump operation. DO NOT allow the mains
supply cable to come into contact with it
or any other hot surfaces (e.g. the pump or
pipework). To ensure this, the cable must be
safely routed and securely fastened with cable
clips.
Cooling and ventilation
The pump should be placed in a position
where there is an adequate air flow to cool
the motor and separated from any other
appliances that generate heat. It should be
installed in a clear space allowing 100mm
additional space at each side, end and top of
the pump.
