Connecting the pipe or hose line
The device may be operated using either a hose line or a pipe.
Ex factory, the device is delivered with a 1" internal thread.
Please note the following:
• The device cannot be moved flexibly when using a solid
pipe.
• Use a pressure line and suction line with a diameter
corresponding to the size of the connections or above.
A smaller diameter causes pressure loss and thus reduces
the feed rate.
• The smaller the pump height of the pressure line and
suction line, the higher the feed rate.
• Connected accessories can cause a pressure loss and
reduce the feed rate.
Additionally, please note the following when connecting flexible
hose lines:
Note
If you want to connect a flexible hose as pressure line,
do not use a suction hose or a non-pressure-resistant
hose. Use pressure-resistant hoses only.
Note
If you want to connect a flexible hose as suction line,
use a vacuum-tight suction hose only.
