2 LOCATION - GENERAL
2.11
Access:
For emergencies and maintenance the pump must be
easily accessible.
2.12
Protection:
The pump must be located in a dry position, frost free
and protected from freezing. Ensure the pump is in a dry position,
away from heat sources, such as radiators and heaters.
2.13
Ventilation:
Ensure an adequate air flow to cool the pump. Separate
the pump from other appliances that generate heat. An 80 mm air gap
must be maintained to allow free air flow through the fan cowl and
over the motor at all times.
2.14
Safety:
The motor casing can become very hot under normal
operating conditions. Care must be taken to ensure it cannot be
touched during operation.
2.15
Water retention:
Site the pump in a location where in the unlikely
event of a water leak, any spillage is contained or routed to avoid
electrics or areas sensitive to water damage.
2.16
Location point:
The pump
must
be located directly after the mains water
stopcock. Site on a smooth level floor of sufficient strength to support the filled
weight of the Mainsboost Flomate (see Section 6 - Technical Specification
for filled weight).
Do not
site the pump in the roof space, since air locks can
easily result.
2.17
Direction of flow:
Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the arrow, as
marked on the flow switch reed clamp.
