
Do not allow scale or debris to enter pump. Fit inline strainers to
eliminate the problem in systems at risk.
 Always install isolating valves to both suction and delivery pipework.
 Do not install a non-return valve, or devices
which contain non-return valves, in the
suction (inlet) pipework to the pump. The
pump must be free to vent to the supply
tanks at all time.
Exceptions can be made in the case of
suction lift installations when a footvalve is required, although under
these conditions it is recommended a suitable pressure relief valve is
fitted in the discharge (outlet) pipework from the pump.
General
Locate the pump complete with pressure control module, in a frost free horizontal
position where it cannot be sprayed with water and as close to the liquid source as
possible.
The pump enclosure must be ventilated and there should be a minimum clearance of
80 mm between the pump and housing on all sides.
Care must be taken when mounting the pump that any noise is not amplified through
loose panels, pipework or other mounting medium. Noise transmission in pipework can
be reduced by fitting flexible hoses to pump inlet and outlet ports and by placing the pump
on anti-vibration mounting feet. Resilient mounting feet and flexible hoses are available
separately as optional extras, contact Stuart Turner for further details.
Ensure the liquid flow is in the direction of the arrows that are moulded onto the
pressure control module (vertically upwards).
The control module must be mounted in the vertical position in the discharge pipework
and must not be mounted in any other way (on its side for instance).
To prevent loss of pressure through pipework, use pipe size to match pump whenever
possible, minimising 90° bends.
It must be ensured that storage capacity of the liquid supply is adequate for the flow
rates required by the pump.
The pipework feeds to the storage tank should be of adequate size to ensure
replenishment rate of tanks is sufficient to meet the needs of the pump.
Isolating valves should be fitted in suction and delivery pipework to enable easy
isolation and access to the pump.
When the pump is to be installed in areas where there is a risk of debris or scale build
up within the system, it is recommended that the inlet pipework is fitted with an inline
strainer.
