Installation

Grounding

Pump: ground through electrically conductive air and

fluid lines.

Air and fluid lines: use only electrically conductive

lines.

Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommenda-

tions.

Fluid supply container: follow local code.

Required Accessories

Install the following required accessories in the order

shown in FIG. 2, using adapters as necessary. See Kits

and Accessories starting on page 43.

Air Line

•Bleed-type master air valve (D): required in your

system to relieve air trapped between it and the air

motor when the valve is closed.

• Be sure the valve is easily accessible from the

pump and located downstream from the air reg-

ulator.

•Pump air regulator (E): to control pump speed and

outlet pressure. Locate it close to the pump.

•Air line filter (C): removes harmful dirt and mois-

ture from compressed air supply.

•Second bleed-type air valve (air shutoff valve)

(B): isolates air line accessories for servicing.

Locate upstream from all other air line accessories.

Fluid Line

•Fluid filter (Y-Strainer) (included in G): with a 60

mesh (250 micron) stainless steel element to filter

particles from the fluid before in reaches the pump.

•Fluid shutoff valve (H): shuts off fluid flow.

•Pressure relief valve (J): overload protection.

Flush Before Using Equipment

The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is

left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid con-

taminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a

compatible solvent before using the equipment. See

Flush the Equipment, page 17.

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk

of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to

ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire

for the electric current.

Installation

3A4386E 9

Typical Installation

FIG. 2 is an example of an installation with a Python

chemical injection pump. Your installation may differ

from what is shown here. (See Required Accessories,

page 8.) The Python pump (F) is the only component in

FIG. 2 supplied by Graco. All other components are sup-

plied by customer.

Chemical Supply

If you have an application, or mounting configuration,

that requires installation in a manner different than

depicted in FIG. 2, please contact your Graco distributor

for assistance.

NOTE: A y-strainer (G) or chemical filter is required

before the pump inlet. This will keep any debris from the

tank from reaching the pump seals. Fluid filters are

available from Graco. See Kits and Accessories on

page 43.

1. Mount the pump (F) and connect the fluid inlet

line (K).

The pump is designed to be vertically mounted directly

from the 1/4 female NPT inlet port (L). The inlet port (L)

is on the bottom and is designated by a flow arrow point-

ing into the pump. Verify the inlet plumbing is sufficiently

strong to support the weight of the pump.

FIG. 2: Typical Installation

Installation

10 3A4386E

Connect Pneumatic Supply

1. Install the pneumatic regulator (E) and gauge to

control the inlet pressure. See Models on page 3for

your model’s maximum pneumatic pressure.

NOTE: If less than 200 psi supply pressure is used, the

pump’s maximum output pressure will be decreased

proportionally. See Minimum Gas Pressures by Fluid

Plunger Size and Outlet Pressures on page 11. Mini-

mum Gas Pressure can be found by first finding the

table that corresponds to the plunger size. Next, using

the column that corresponds to the air motor size, find

the row equal to or slightly greater than the outlet pres-

sure of the pump. The value is the Minimum Gas Pres-

sure required to achieve the fluid outlet pressure.

2. Install a pneumatic line filter (C) to keep debris from

affecting pump performance and to increase pump

life.

NOTE: Keep the timing valve knob closed at this point

to keep the pump from operating without fluid, which

minimizes seal wear.

3. Attach a pneumatic line to the 1/8 in. female NPT

port (116) on the timing valve. (See Python Timing

Valve Assembly, page 41.) An 1/8 in. NPT fitting is

preferred, though a 1/8 in. - 1/4 in. NPT adapter is

included for convenience.

Connect Chemical Outlet

1. Connect a 1/4 npt(f) fluid line from the outlet check

valve (M) to the injection point.

NOTE: On high pressure configurations

(PCI-xxx-xxH-xx-x), the 1/4 npt(f) fitting is replaced with

an HiP HF4 fitting.

2. Install a pressure relief valve (J) on the outlet side of

the pump.

NOTE: A pressure relief valve is available from Graco

and can be connected back to the tank or directly to the

inlet side of the pump. See Kits and Accessories on

page 43.

3. Set the pressure relief valve at or below the maxi-

mum working pressure of the pump.

4. Connect a 10-32 UNF fluid outlet from the

prime/bleed valve (21) to the fluid source or waste

reservoir.

NOTE: On high pressure configurations

(PCI-xxx-xxH-xx-x), the 10-32 fitting is replaced with a

1/16 in. NPT(F) fitting.

In the event of an injection line blockage, to reduce the

risk of skin injection and damage to the pump, ensure

the pressure relief valve is set at or below the maxi-

mum working pressure of the pump.
