Installation (see Fig. 1-3)
CHAPTER 4
To prevent possible injuries to people, avoid inserting hands into the mouth of the
pump if this is connected to the electrical power supply.
CONNECTION OF THE DELIVERY PIPE
When installing, please ensure pump is disconnected from electrical power supply.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
Pentair DPC pumps come with a check valve that prevents the delivery pipe from being drained and
the uid from recirculating.
If the pump is xed in a permanent location with rigid pipes, it is advisable to install a quick closing
tting in the most convenient location to facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
The dimensions of the collection chamber should allow the insertion of the pump and reduce to the
minimum the start- up operations per hour (see LIMITATIONS - Technical data).
Use the handle provided to transport or lift the pump.
To use the pump for temporary applications, install a exible pipe and connect it to the pump using a
pipe holder. To immerse the pump, use a rope and x it to the handle.
The pumps used in ponds, small lakes, fountains or similar installations or close to them should have
a safety switch. Contact a specialised electrician.
The tting supplied with Pentair DPC pumps can be adapted to the
dimensions of the pipe used.
To connect a threaded pipe or a 3/4" (19 mm) quick closing tting,
tighten it directly on the threaded part (location a).
When using a Ø 25 mm (1") pipe, cut the stage that is not being
used at the correct height (up to point b).
When using a Ø 32 mm (1 1/4"), cut the stages that are not being
used at the correct height (up to point c).
