Spike Flow - Mounting the Pump

SPIKE FLOW USER GUIDE8
Brew Day –
Mounting
The pump head can be rotated by loosening the 3”
tri-clamp slightly. The Flow can be used while on the
ground or the mounting holes can be used to secure
the pump to your brew stand
For best performance, direct the pump outlet upwards
(see Figure 1). This will make it easier to bleed air out
during operation.
A ow control valve can be attached to the outlet of
the pump or the inlet of your kettle. Ball valves will
provide much better control than buttery valves.
Never throttle the ow before the pump as this can
cause the pump to run dry.
PRO TIP: Minimize hose lengths as much as
possible and avoid large loops and dips where
air can become trapped, especially on the inlet
side.
