Installing the Pump
Read carefully before installing the pump.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Notes: 1) Ensure that the distance (H) between the pump and the tank is as per the guidelines
provided in the installation diagram (see Figure 5-7 on page 5-7) so that the length
of the supply line can be short.
2) Avoid long supply lines and excessive vertical lifts.
3) While installing the pump, ensur
e that the vertical distance (V) from the bottom of the
tank to the base of the pump is as per the guidelines provided in the installation
diagram (see Figure 5-7 on page 5-7).
UHF Pressure Dispenser Requirement
UHF pressure dispenser must have a minimum 2.8 bar inlet pressure at dispenser to get the
required flow rate as mentioned of 110 - 120 L/Min. Flow rate at site may vary based on
installation condition.
Underground Storage Tank
To install the underground storage tank, proceed as follows:
Note: If the pump is being connected to an old underground installation, ensure that the tank
is
free from water and dirt.
1 On the new tank, do not remove the thin plug in the tank openings until they are ready to
connect to the pipe.
Notes: 1) To detect any damage incurred during shipment,
the customer should test the tank
before burying.
2) Using a reliable low pressure gauge, ensur
e that a pressure not exceeding 0.20 bar
(3 psi) of air is used and the pressure is maintained in an air test of 30 minutes
without any gauge reduction.
3) Every seam should be gone over with soap lather to detect leaks. In freezing
condition, linseed oil is used.
2 Lower the tank into the hole; do not drop the tank.
Note: 1) The tank is buried so that the top of the
tank is at least 0.6 meter below the ground,
unless otherwise required by the local ordinance.
2) A pitch-down of approximately 50-mm at fill pipe end of the tank is required
(see Figure 5-7 on page 5-7).
3 Tamp the dirt around the tank to secure a firm foundation.
4 If the water-tight fill cap is used as shown in Figure 5-7 on page 5-7, provide the tank with a
separate vent pipe.
5 If a combination fill and vent pipe is used, the fill pipe should extend 150-mm above the
ground and the vent flange in the tank can be plugged.
