Safety Information
WARNING
Electrical wiring should be performed ONLY by a licensed electrician in
compliance with local, state, and national electrical code NEC/ANSI/ NFPA 70,
NFPA30, and NFPA 30A, as appropriate to the intended use of the pump. Threaded
rigid conduit, sealed fittings, and conductor seal should be used. The pump
must be properly grounded. Improper installation or use of this pump can
result in serious bodily injury, or death!
- NEVER smoke near the pump, or use the pump near open flames when pumping a flammable liquid! Fire can result!
- A “Fill-Rite” Filter should be used on the pump outlet to insure no foreign material is transferred to the fuel tank.
- Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to minimize the possibility of leaks.
- Storage tanks should be securely anchored to prevent shifting or tipping when full or empty.
- To minimize static electricity build up, use only static wire conductive hose when pumping flammable fluids, and keep the fill nozzle in contact with the container being filled during the filling process.
- The pump motor is equipped with thermal overload protection; if overheated, the motor will shut off to prevent damage to the windings. If this happens, TURN THE PUMP OFF! When the motor cools, it will restart without warning if the power is on.
Installation
The Fill-Rite FR700V Series pump is designed to offer several different mounting configurations. It can be mounted on a skid tank using the tank adapter supplied with the pump (see attached diagrams) or mounted on a concrete island using an optional pedestal adapter (available through your Fill-Rite distributor). Regardless of mounting style, all tanks must be properly vented. The FR700V Series pump has a built-in check valve with pressure relief to reduce unsafe excess pressure from thermal expansion of the fluid. It also features an integral bypass valve to help minimize wear when the pump is operating with the nozzle closed.
CAUTION
Do not use additional check valves or foot valves unless they have a proper
pressure relief valve built into them. Note that additional check valves will
reduce flow rate.
CAUTION
Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate
sealant or sealant tape to minimize the possibility of leaks.
Typical Skid Tank Installation
Materials
- 1-1/4″ pipe cut to a length that will terminate at least 3″ from the bottom of the tank when installed into the tank adapter with the tank adapter installed into the tank flange (see SKID TANK INSTALLATION diagram).
- Threaded pipe joint sealant appropriate for application.
Installation Procedure
- Thread the 1-1/4″ pipe into the tank adapter. Seal threads liquid tight with appropriate thread sealant.
- Screw the tank adapter into the tank flange; seal threads liquid tight with appropriate thread sealant.
- Mount the pump on the adapter; seal threads liquid tight with appropriate thread sealant.
- Fill-Rite recommends installation of an Anti-Siphon Device.
Typical “Pedestal / Island” Installation
Materials
- 1-1/4″ threaded suction pipe, cut to extend 32-1/2″ above the island.
- FRPA125 Pedestal Kit (includes Pedestal Pipe, Base, & Coupler).
- Threaded pipe joint sealant appropriate for application.
Installation Procedure
- Remove the coupler from the pedestal pipe by loosening the set screws.
- Slip the pedestal pipe/pump base assembly over the 1-1/4″ suction pipe.
- Loosen the screws in the pedestal base to allow the pedestal pipe to slide down exposing the end of the suction pipe.
- Screw the coupler onto the suction pipe; seal threads liquid tight withappropriate thread sealant.
- Slide the pedestal pipe into the coupler and tighten the set screws.
- Tighten the screws in the pedestal base.
- Mount the pump on the coupler seal threads liquid tight with appropriate thread sealant.
SKID TANK INSTALLATION
TYPICAL PEDESTAL / ISLAND INSTALLATION
Anti-Siphon Device
Your FR700V Series pump comes from the factory ready to install an anti-siphon
tube back to the tank. An anti-siphon device (a.k.a. vacuum breaker) is
important because it will break a liquid siphon if there is an open nozzle or
a leaking hose below the fluid level in the tank when the pump is turned off.
Fill-Rite recommends anti-siphon kit # KIT700AS be installed from the pump
outlet back to the vapor space in the tank. This illustration shows where to
install the tube so that it terminates in the vapor space at the top of the
tank. The tube must terminate in the vapor space; if it terminates below the
fluid level in the tank, it will not prevent siphoning. It is very important
there are no liquid traps in the tubing; it must have a continuous slope from
the pump down to the tank, and can be connected into any opening in the top of
the tank if the tank adapter is not used. Use reducer bushings as required for
proper fit and seal.The 1/4″ NPT opening in the side of the tank adapter
terminates in the vapor space of the tank. Make liquid tight connections using
the appropriate sealant from the adapter to the anti-siphon outlet using a
minimum of 1/4″ metal tubing that is compatible with whatever liquid is being
pumped. If the anti-siphon tank adapter is being used and the 1/4″ NPT opening
is not used for the tubing, leave the factory installed plug in place. Fill-
Rite offers Anti-Siphon kit # KIT700AS (available through your Fill-Rite
distributor). This kit contains the necessary fittings and tubing to complete
the installation as pictured in this section.
NOTE: This kit ONLY works for tank top installations. If not using the
KIT700AS, you will need the KIT700AVB. This will allow you to connect a line
either back to the tank, or to the bung adapter.
Bung Adapter / Suction Pipe Assembly and Installation
FR700V Series pumps feature a 2″ Bung Adapter with integral connection for an anti-siphon device. When installing the suction pipe into the bung adapter, the suction pipe must be inserted into the bung adapter correctly for proper operation. The suction pipe threads into the tank adapter, and must be cut to a length that positions it at least 3″ from the bottom of the tank.
- Measure and cut suction pipe to fit as described above.
- Examine the bung adapter to determine top and bottom for proper insertion of the suction pipe. The bung adapter is labeled to help: the end marked “PUMP SIDE” is the top of the bung adapter. Note that the internal threads for the suction pipe are at the TOP of the opening.
- Wrap the threads of the suction pipe with the appropriate sealant for the fluid being pumped. Insert the suction pipe (with the threaded side up) into the bottom of the bung adapter until the threads engage.
- Tighten the suction tube into the bung adapter to create an air / fluid tight seal.
- Apply an anti-seize thread compound to the external threads on the bottom of the bung adapter. Install the assembled bung adapter and suction pipe into the bung opening on the tank. Tighten to a fluid / air tight seal.
- Install pump onto bung adapter using appropriate fluid sealant, and tighten to a fluid / air tight seal.
ANTI-SIPHON INSTALLATION
Electric Wiring
WARNING
Electrical wiring should be performed ONLY by a licensed electrician in
compliance with local, state, and national electrical code NEC/ANSI/ NFPA 70,
NFPA30, and NFPA 30A, as appropriate to the intended use of the pump. Threaded
rigid conduit, sealed fittings, and conductor seal should be used. The pump
must be properly grounded. Improper installation or use of this pump can
result in serious bodily injury, or death!
CAUTION
All pumps should be operated at the Rated Nameplate Voltage. Power should be
supplied to the pump from a dedicated 20 amp circuit breaker. No other
equipment should be powered by this circuit. Wiring must be of sufficient size
to carry the correct current for the pump. Voltage drop will vary with
distance to pump and size of wire; refer to the National Electrical Code
(NEC), or local codes, for Voltage Drop Compensation to be sure you are using
the correct size wire for your application.
Wiring Procedure
WARNING
The “AUX.” wire IS A LIVE WIRE when the switch is on! The “AUX” lead wire is
insulated and enclosed when shipped. DO NOT connect this wire without first
verifying the “ON” line voltage of the wire for compatibility with the
equipment to be installed. Maximum amperage on this wire is 1 amp. The “AUX”
wire must be insulated and enclosed in the junction box if not used
- emove the junction box cover and straighten the wires to make sure the stripped wire ends are accessible outside the junction box.
- Connect the pump wires to the power supply lines according to the diagram. Be certain to properly insulate the connections with the appropriate wire nuts or other connectors. Note that the ground wire MUST be connected.
- Tuck the wires back into the junction box, verify proper placement of gasket, align cover with junction box holes and reinstall screws. Torque each screw to 90 ± 9 in-lbs.
