LAWN SPRINKLING APPLICATION
This pump is designed for lawn sprinkling. It is designed to
deliver plenty of water at full sprinkler pressure. It can pump
from a pond, cistern or well points.
Pump discharge can be divided to supply two (2) or more
sprinkler systems. A suggested multiple discharge to service
is shown in Figure 3.
Do not use in a pressure tank or booster pump appli-
cation.
Pump/Piping Installation
PUMP INSTALLATION
NOTICE:
Use Teflon tape supplied with the pump for mak-
ing all threaded connections to the pump itself.
Do not use
pipe joint compounds on the pump:
they can react with
the plastic in the pump components.
1. Bolt pump to solid, level foundation.
2. Support all piping connected to the pump.
3. Wrap 1-1/2 to two layers of Teflon tape clockwise (as you
face end of pipe) on all male threads being attached to
pump.
4. Tighten joints hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns.
Do not over-
tighten.
NOTICE:
Install pump as close to water source as possible.
Long piping runs and many fittings create friction and re-
duce flow.
Use schedule 80 or iron pipe. See “Well Pipe Installation” for
more information.
