Install Suction Line
• Uncoil the suction line and cut a section
to assure that the end will be 2-3" above
the bottom of the solution tank. Use the
outside of the solution tank as a guide to
cut to proper length.
Allow sufficient slack to avoid kinks
and stress cracks. Always make a clean
square cut to assure that the suction
line is burr free. Normal maintenance
requires trimming.
Suction lines that extend to the bottom
of the tank can result in debris pickup
leading to clogged injectors and possible
tube failure.
• Slide the suction line through the
connecting nut and ferrule and fully insert
the line into the bottom pump tube
fitting as indicated by the “IN” on the
tube housing cover.
• Finger tighten nut to the threaded tube
fitting while holding the tube fitting.
Over tightening the ferrule and nut
with a wrench may result in damaged
fittings, crushed ferrules, and air pickup.
Do not use thread sealant tape on
pump tube connections or tools to
tighten connections.
