a)
Pump Location:
The pump should be installed in a clean, dry and
ventilated location which provides adequate room for servicing and
protection from freezing temperatures. It should be bolted to a good
foundation, preferably concrete and provided adequate drainage.
Locating the pump as close as possible to the water source reduces
the friction in the suction pipe and will give maximum capacities.
b)
Suction pipe:
It is recommended that only new, clean 1 inch
pipe or hose be used. If the pump is installed any appreciable
distance away from the source of water, the suction pipe should be
increased to 1-1/4 inch. Horizontal lengths of pipe must gradually
slope upwards from the source of water to the pump to avoid air
pockets in the line. Thread compound should be used on all pipe
joints and connections should be thoroughly tightened. A foot valve
must be installed and its operation should be checked since a leak
will prevent proper operation of the system. Make sure that the foot
valve is located so that it will be submerged at all times. If a sand
point or driven well is used, install a check valve next to the pump
suction instead of the foot valve. For booster pump applications no
foot valve is required.
c)
Service Line:
The service line should be connected as shown in
Fig. 1. The size of the service line required is governed entirely by
the amount of water needed and the length of the pipe. The pipe
selected should be large enough so that the friction loss (determined
fromTable 2, Friction Loss Chart) will never exceed a 20 ft.
(6m) head.
This jet sprinkler pump is a versatile pump for pressure boosting,
small underground sprinkler systems, operating lawn sprinklers and a
multitude of other general purpose applications. This pump is suitable
for installations where the vertical distance from the pump to the water
level does not exceed *25 ft. (7.6m), including drawdown. In offset
installations, friction losses in the suction pipe must be taken into
consideration. (Refer to Table 2, Friction Loss Chart).
*Less at high altitudes.
WARNING - ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
All wiring, electrical connections, and system grounding
must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and
with any local codes and ordinances. Employ a licensed
electrician.
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
.
This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding
type attachment plug.
.
To reduce risk of electrical shock,
be certain that it is connected
only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
.
A ground fault interrupter (GFI) protected circuit is recommended
for use with any electrical device operating near water.
.
Have an electrician provide an outlet near the point of use. For
recommended cable size seeTable 1.
.
Pump and motor must be protected from the weather, for indoor
use only.
.
Motor must be grounded and terminal cover in place to reduce
electrical shock hazard.
.
Keep motor operating area as dry as possible.
.
Always disconnect power before servicing.
.
Not investigated for use in swimming pool area.
