PART 3: DISCHARGE
SET UP
Now that your suction pipework is installed,
it’s time to set up the discharge pipework.
1. Select a pipe with an internal diameter
of 25mm or larger (this is the size of the
discharge outlet port).
2. Connect the pipe to the Horizontal
Multistage Pump using a 25mm barrel union.
Note:
It is crucial that you use the
recommended pipe size until at least the first
pipe branch (T piece) is reached.

PART 4: PUMP PRIMING
Before moving on, its important to prime the
pump. This means filling the pump with water
and expelling all air from within the pump
casing.
If you’ve set up a surface mount pump, follow
steps outlined in Part 4A.
If you’ve set up a pump mounted above a tank,
follow steps outlined in Part 4B.
PART 4A: PRIMING A
SURFACE MOUNT PUMP
AND TANK
1. Ensure the water level in your tank sits
above the tank outlet. This will ensure
the pump does not draw in any air during
priming.
2. Open the isolation valve on the tank. If there
are any leaks, repair these immediately.
If no leaks are present, proceed.
3. Close the tank isolation valve and then
remove the priming port plug on the top of
the pump casing.
4. Slowly open the tank isolation valve
allowing water to fill the suction line and
pump casing. This will expel the air as the
water fills the suction line and pump casing.
5. Once all air is expelled a steady stream of
water will trickle out.
6. Close the isolation valve and replace the
priming port plug. The isolation valve
must be re-opened prior to operation.
Your pump is now primed. Before pump
operation ensure there is sufficient water
inside the tank.
