INSTALLATION 

NOTICE: 

Blackmer  pumps  must  only  be  installed  in  systems 
designed  by  qualified  engineering  personnel.    System 
design must conform with all applicable regulations and 
codes and provide warning of all system hazards. 

 

 

  Install, ground and wire to local and 

National Electrical Code requirements. 

  Install an all-leg disconnect switch near 

the unit motor. 

  Disconnect and lockout electrical power 

before installation or service 

 

Electrical supply MUST match motor 
nameplate specifications. 

 

Hazardous voltage. 

Can shock, burn or 

cause death. 

  Motors equipped with thermal protection automatically 

disconnect motor electrical circuit when overload exists.  
Motor can start unexpectedly and without warning. 

 

 

PRE-INSTALLATION CLEANING 

NOTICE: 

New pumps contain residual test fluid and rust inhibitor.  
If necessary, flush pump prior to use. 

 

Foreign matter entering the pump WILL cause extensive 
damage.  The supply tank and intake piping MUST be 
cleaned and flushed prior to pump installation and operation. 
 
 

LOCATION AND PIPING 

Pump life and performance will be significantly reduced when 
installed in an improperly designed system. Before starting 
the layout and installation of the piping system, review the 
following suggestions: 
1.  Locate the pump as near as possible to the source of 

supply to avoid excessive inlet pipe friction. 

2.  The inlet line should be at least as large as the intake 

port on the pump. It should slope downward to the 
pump, and should not contain any upward loops. 
Eliminate restrictions such as sharp bends; globe valves, 
unnecessary elbows, and undersized strainers. 

3.  A strainer must be installed in the inlet line to protect the 

pump from foreign matter. The strainer should be 
located at least 24" (0.6m) from the pump, and have a 
net open area of at least four times the area of the intake 
piping. Strainers must be cleaned regularly to avoid 
pump starvation. 

4.  The intake and discharge piping system must be free of 

all leaks. 

5.  Expansion joints, placed at least 36" (0.9m) from the 

pump, will compensate for expansion and contraction of 
the pipes. Contact the flexible connector/hose 
manufacturer for required maintenance/care and design 
assistance in their use. 

 

6. 

Install pressure gauges in the NPT ports provided in the 
pump casing to check pump performance at start up.

 

7.  ALL piping and fittings MUST be properly supported to 

prevent any piping loads from being placed on the pump. 

8.  Check alignment of pipes to pump to avoid strains, 

which might later cause misalignment.  See Figure 2.  
Unbolt flanges or break union joints.  Pipes should not 
spring away or drop down.  After pump has been in 
operation for a week or two, completely recheck 
alignment. 

 

Figure 2 

9.  When pumping liquids at elevated temperature, 

provisions should be made to compensate for expansion 
and contraction of the pipes, especially when long pipe 
lines are necessary.  Steel pipe expands approximately 
3/4” (1.9 cm) per 100 feet (30.49 m) per 100°F (37.8°C) 
rise in temperature. 

 
 

INTERNAL PUMP RELIEF VALVE AND 
BACK TO TANK BYPASS VALVE 

NOTICE: 

The pump internal relief valve is designed to protect the 
pump from excessive pressure and must not be used as 
a system pressure control valve. 
 

Pumping volatile liquids under suction lift may cause 
cavitation. Partial closing of the discharge valve WILL result 
in internal relief valve chatter and is NOT recommended. For 
these applications, install an external system pressure 
control valve, and any necessary bypass piping, back to the 
storage tank.  See Figure 3 
A system pressure control valve is also recommended when 
operating for extended periods (more than 1 minute) against 
a closed discharge valve.
