You are about to install an ARMflo E Series circulator - a high-efficiency pump from Armstrong. ARMflo E Series
circulators are designed for heating and cooling in hydronic, geothermal or solar systems, circulating water or
ethylene or propylene glycol/water solutions. For pumping domestic (potable) water, Armstrong recommends the use
of circulators with bronze body construction.
The ARMflo E Series circulators are extremely efficient and quiet and utilize a state of the art permanently lubricated
bearing system designed for many years of trouble-free operation. They feature a permanent-split capacitor motor
with thermal protection.

2. Rotate the volute to match piping orientation.
3. Observe flow direction arrow on volute.
4. Ensure volute gasket is properly seated.
5. Retighten mounting bolts evenly to 5lb-ft (6.7N-m).
6. Ensure the impeller spins freely.
