Installation

Grounding

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

This pump must be grounded. Before

operating the pump, ground the system

as explained below. Also read the sec-

tion FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

on page 4.

To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump

and all other equipment used or located in the pumping

area. Check your local electrical code for detailed

grounding instructions for your area and type of equip-

ment.

Ground all of this equipment:

Pump: Attach a ground wire (Y) to the pump’s

grounding clamp (35) and secure with the screw, as

shown in Fig. 1. Connect the clamp end of the

ground wire to a true earth ground. Order Part No.

Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive

hoses.

Air compressor: Follow the manufacturer’s recom-

mendations.

Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow your local

code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive.

Do not place the pail on a non-conductive surface,

such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the

grounding continuity.

Fluid supply container: Follow your local code.

Installation

Air Line

WARNING

A bleed-type master air valve (B) is required in your

system to relieve air trapped between this valve

and the pump. See Fig. 2. Trapped air can cause

the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result

in serious injury, including splashing in the eyes or

on the skin, injury from moving parts, or contamina-

tion from hazardous fluids.

1. Install the air line accessories as shown in Fig. 2.

Mount these accessories on the wall or on a

bracket. Be sure the air line supplying the acces-

sories is electrically conductive.

a. The fluid pressure can be controlled in two

ways, either by controlling the air into the

pump with the air regulator (F) or the fluid out

of the pump with the fluid regulator (H).

b. Locate a bleed-type master air valve (B) close

to the pump, to relieve trapped air. See the

WARNING at left. Locate another air valve (E)

upstream from all air line accessories, to

isolate them during cleaning and repair.

c. Install an air line filter (D) to remove harmful

contaminants such as dirt, moisture, and oil

from the compressed air supply.

2. The air valve does not require lubrication.

3. Install an electrically conductive, flexible air hose

(T). Use a minimum 1/4”(6.3 mm) ID air hose.

Screw an air line quick disconnect coupler (V) onto

the end of the air hose and screw the mating fitting

into the pump air inlet snugly. Do not connect the

coupler to the fitting yet.

Installation

Fluid Suction Line

Screw the suction line (L) into the pump inlet (M)

snugly. Use a compatible liquid thread sealant on

connections to prevent air from getting into the fluid

line.

Do not pressure feed this pump.

See the Technical Data on page 24 for maximum

suction lift.

Use an agitator (U) to prevent fluid from settling

out. Part No. 245081 Agitator Kit (accessory) is

available.

Fluid Outlet Line

WARNING

A fluid drain valve (J) is required in your system to

relieve pressure in the hose if it is plugged. See

Fig. 2. The drain valve reduces the risk of serious

injury, including splashing in the eyes or on the

skin, or contamination from hazardous fluids when

relieving pressure. Install the valve close to the

pump fluid outlet. To use the valve as a circulation

valve, connect a tube (K) between the valve and

pail.

CAUTION

Some systems may require installation of a pressure

relief valve at the pump outlet to prevent overpres-

surization and rupture of the pump or hose.

Thermal expansion of fluid in the outlet line can

cause overpressurization. This can occur when using

long fluid lines exposed to sunlight or ambient heat,

or when pumping from a cool to a warm area (for

example, from an underground tank).

Overpressurization can also occur if the pump is

being used to feed fluid to a piston pump, and the

intake valve of the piston pump does not close,

causing fluid to back up in the outlet line.

Use electrically conductive fluid hoses (P). Screw

the fluid fitting into the pump outlet (N) snugly.

Install a fluid regulator (H) at the pump fluid outlet

to control fluid pressure, if desired. See Air Line,

step 1a, for another method of controlling pressure.

Install a fluid drain valve (J) near the fluid outlet.

See the WARNING at left.

Flush the Pump Before First Use

The pump was tested in water. If the water could

contaminate the fluid you are pumping, flush the pump

thoroughly with a compatible solvent. Follow the steps

under Starting and Adjusting the Pump on page 11.
