Plumbing Installation:
1.
Locate pump close to the water supply to eliminate unnecessarily long suction piping runs.
2. Install pump with ¾” or 1” I.D. non-collapsible suction piping. Ensure that there are no leaks on the
suction piping due to loose pipefittings, or cracks in hose or plastic pipe. Suction leaks will impede the
performance of the pump, and could cause the pump to go into an alarm condition.
3. Eliminate any unnecessary restrictive fittings in the suction piping.
4. Protect the pump from foreign debris by installing a Headhunter approved strainer (IS-750,IS-1000S or IS-
1000L) on the suction piping. Do not install charcoal or sediment water filters on the suction piping.
5. For long suction runs, it is recommended to install a spring check valve or foot valve near the tank to help
keep the pump primed.
6. Install the suction piping with gradual uphill or horizontal run to the inlet of the pump to prevent the
formation of air pockets.
7. Ensure inlet and discharge piping connected to the pump is well supported. This will prevent undue stress
on the pump inlet and discharge fittings, which may cause leaking and/or damage to the fittings.
8. Make a leak proof connection to the ¾” female NPT inlet connection of the pump.. A check valve is built in
to the inlet fitting of the pump. Do not remove it.
a. For European pipe connection, ¾” male Gas x ¾” male NPT adapters are available from
Headhunter to make the transition. Contact your authorized Headhunter dealer.
9. Make leak proof connections to the ¾” female NPT discharge connection of the X-Caliber to the pressure
delivery system. Do not install a check valve on the discharge of the pump. This may affect the
pumps ability to monitor the system pressure.
10. Headhunter recommends the installation of a Headhunter PGV-100 – Vertical mount, or PGH-100 –
Horizontal mount – 0-100 psi oil filled pressure gauge pressure gauge on the pressure delivery piping for
monitoring the system pressure.
