• Release all air in system before testing.
• Water pressure for test must be less than 25 PSI
(7.5 kg/cm
2
).
• Water Temperature for test must be less than 100
o
F
(38
o
C).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check
system to be sure it is ready for operation. Remove
trap lid and retighten hand tight only.
NOTICE: These parameters apply to Sta-Rite
equipment only. For non-Sta-Rite equipment, consult
manufacturer.
INSTALLATION
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump
and wiring.
Pump mount must:
Be located away from corrosive or flammable
chemicals.
Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at
less than the maximum ambient temperature rating (Max.
Amb.) listed on the motor model plate. If this pump is
installed in an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must
have adequate ventilation and air circulation to keep the
temperature in the enclosure at or below the motor’s rated
ambient temperature whenever the pump is running.
Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce
vibration and pipe stress, bolt pump to mount.)
Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water
level as possible.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (To reduce friction
losses).
Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
NOTICE: Use thread seal tape for making all threaded
connections to the pump. Do not use pipe dope; pipe
dope will cause stress cracking in the pump.
NOTICE: Pump suction and discharge connections
have molded in thread stops. DO NOT try to screw pipe
in beyond these stops.
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run
at high temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, do not
allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around
the pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the
motor, let it cool for 20 minutes before trying to work on
it.
Taping Instructions:
Use only new or clean PVC pipe fittings.
Wrap male pipe threads with one to two layers of thread
seal tape. Cover entire threaded portion of pipe.
Do not overtighten or tighten past thread stop in pump
port!
If leaks occur, remove pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap
with one to two additional layers of tape and remake the
connection.
NOTICE: Support all piping connected with pump!
