INSPECT THE SHIPMENT
The high pressure booster pump has been carefully
inspected and packaged to assure safe delivery. Inspect the
pump and fittings and report to the carrier any items
which are damaged or missing.
INSTALLATION
The pump is designed to boost city water pressure or
water pressure from a private water system. Use this high
pressure stream to wash down milk parlors, barns, garages
and driveways, or for fire protection.
The pump is portable with a convenient carrying handle. If
an existing pressure water system is to be used as a water
supply, it can be connected with available fittings and 3/4"
or 1" high pressure hose to the pump inlet. A special heavy
duty 3/4" or 1" suction hose with fittings is available as an
accessory. If pump is permanently mounted on wall, use a
3/4" or 1" pipe or heavy-duty hose for suction line. This
pump can be disassembled for service without removing
installation piping.
Hazardous pressure. Pump body may
explode if pressures exceed rated limits.
Maximum inlet
pressure is 80 PSI. Maximum discharge pressure is 315
PSI. Warranty is void if these pressure limits are exceeded.

TABLE I - DISCHARGE PRESSURE
NOTE: For total discharge pressure, add this pressure to
suction pipe pressure. For example, an FP5712-01 pump
taking
suction from a 100 psi water service line will pro-
duce 75 + 100 = 175 psi total discharge pressure at 0
GPM flow. If suction pressure drops to 50 psi, discharge
pressure will drop to 125 psi.
