Safety Information

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!

1. NEVER smoke near the pump, or use the pump near open flames when pumping a flammable liquid! Fire  can result!
2. A “Fill-Rite” Filter should be used on the pump outlet to insure no foreign material is transferred to the fuel tank.
3. Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to minimize the possibility of leaks.
4. Storage tanks should be securely anchored to prevent shifting or tipping when full or empty.
5. 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.
6. 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.

This product should not be used to transfer fluids into any type of aircraft
This product is not suited for use with fluids intended for human consumption or fluids containing water.

Installation

The Fill-Rite FR300V 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 FR300V 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.

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.

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

1. Thread the 1-1/4″ pipe into the tank adapter. Seal threads liquid tight with appropriate thread sealant.
2. Screw the tank adapter into the tank flange; seal threads liquid tight with appropriate thread sealant.
3. Mount the pump on the adapter; seal threads liquid tight with appropriate  thread sealant.
4. Fill-Rite recommends installation of an Anti-Siphon Device.

SKID TANK INSTALLATION

Typical “Pedestal / Island” Installation

1. Remove the coupler from the pedestal pipe by loosening the set screws.
2. Slip the pedestal pipe/pump base assembly over the 1-1/4″ suction pipe.
3. Loosen the screws in the pedestal base to allow the pedestal pipe to slide down exposing the end of the suction pipe.
4. Screw the coupler onto the suction pipe; seal threads liquid tight with appropriate thread sealant.
5. Slide the pedestal pipe into the coupler and tighten the set screws.
6. Tighten the screws in the pedestal base.
7. Mount the pump on the coupler seal threads liquid tight with appropriate thread sealant.

TYPICAL PEDESTAL / ISLAND INSTALLATION

Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to minimize the possibility of leaks.

Anti-Sriphon Device

Your FR300V series pump comes from the factory ready to install an anti-siphon tube back to the tank. An an is phone 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

FR300V 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.

1. Measure and cut suction pipe to fit as described above.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Tighten the suction tube into the bung adapter to create an air / fluid tight seal.
5. 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.
6. Install pump onto bung adapter using appropriate fluid sealant, and tighten to a fluid / air tight seal.

Nozzle Boot Installation

The nozzle boot is installed using the lower two screw holes on the side of the boot. Use supplied attaching hardware to install the nozzle boot.
When the nozzle is mounted correctly it will be in a horizontal position.

Electric Wiring

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!

All pumps should be operated at the Rated Nameplate Voltage. Power should be supplied to the pump from a dedicated 30 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

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.

115 VOLT WIRE DIAGRAM AUX LEAD RATED 1.0 AMP

230 VOLT WIRE DIAGRAM AUX LEAD RATED 1.0 AMP

1. Remove the junction box cover and straighten the wires to make sure the stripped wire ends are accessible outside the junction box.
2. 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.
3. Fold the wires back into the junction box and replace the cover, making sure the cover gasket is in place.

Use the Voltage Selector Switch on the end of the pump to select the input voltage for the pump.
NOTE: The pump comes from the factory pre-set to 115V AC position.

Be certain the gasket for the cover is in place, and the screws draw the cover down tight over the junction box. There must be no gap between the junction box and it’s cover.
