Hale Flex Series single stage booster pumps provide NPT threaded ports for drain installation. Use
care to ensure water is not trapped in drain plumbing. Trapped water could cause damage in freez-
ing temperatures.

Air must be pulled out of the suction plumbing leading to the pump at the highest point. Installations
that have multiple high points will need multiple priming connections to make sure all the air is re-
moved from suction piping during priming.
