Installation
Fluid Supply Line
See
Typical Floor Mount Installation, page 12
1. Use grounded flexible, fluid supply hoses (G).
See
Grounding, page 8
.
2. If the inlet fluid pressure to the pump is more
than 25% of the outlet working pressure, the ball
check valves will not close fast enough, resulting
in inefficient pump operation.
3. Excessive inlet fluid pressure also will shorten
diaphragm life. Approximately 3 - 5 psi (0.02-
0.03 MPa, 0.21-0.34 bar) should be adequate
for most materials.
4. For maximum suction lift (wet and dry), see
Technical Data, page 20
. For best results,
always install the pump as close as possible to
the material source.
Fluid Outlet Line
See
Typical Floor Mount Installation, page 12
.
1. Use grounded, flexible fluid hoses (L). See
Grounding, page 8
.
2. Install a fluid drain valve (J) near the fluid outlet.
3. Install a shutoff valve (K) in the fluid outlet line.
Fluid Inlet and Outlet Ports
NOTE: Remove and reverse the manifold(s) to
change the orientation of inlet or outlet port(s). Follow
Torque Instructions, page 16
.
1050HP— Aluminum Manifolds
The fluid inlet and outlet manifolds each have two 1
in. npt(f) or bspt threaded ports (M, N). Close off the
unused port using the supplied plugs.
1050HP— Stainless Steel Manifolds
The fluid inlet and outlet manifolds each have one
1 in. npt(f) or bspt port.
