Installation

NOTICE: Failure to obey the following instructions could result in damage to the pump or components, and cause property damage.

• The motor is splash-resistant, not submersible. It should be located in a dry environment.
• The pump outlet must be above the inlet.
• Never install the pump vertically or with the motor below the pump.
• If the pump was packaged with plastic shipping shims, these shims must be used as additional support under the motor feet.
• The Net Positive Suction Head available (NPSHa) to the pump must be greater than the Net Positive Suction Head required (NPSHr). NPSHa is the pressure measured to the inlet of the pump. NPSHr is a value that can be found on the pump spec sheet curves. Filters, strainers and any other fittings in the suction line will lower the NPSHa and should be calculated into the application.
  This section describes how to select the pump location, how to rotate the pump head (if needed to accommodate the discharge piping), mounting the pump, connecting the piping, connecting a drain plug or valve, and making the electrical connections.

Selecting the Pump Location
When selecting the pump location, consider the following items.

1. Water Line
2. Seawater Outlet
3. Outlet Flow
4. A/C Condenser Coil
5. Pump
6. Strainer
7. Inlet Flow
8. Seacock (ball valve) and Scoop-type, Through-hull Inlet

• For optimum performance and to minimize suction lift, place the pump as far below the water line as possible.
• Place the pump in a location that will allow mounting in a level, horizontal position, on a secure foundation.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the pump for proper operation and cooling of the motor.

Rotating the Pump Head (Optional)

The pump is preconfigured with a vertical discharge orientation, which is applicable to most installations. When preparing the pump installation, it may be necessary to rotate the pump head to improve the ease of installing the pump and associated piping. Rotating the pump head is optional, and should be done before mounting the pump.

• Make sure the o-ring is properly seated in the groove after rotating. The o-ring is lubricated, and should not need additional lubrication.
• When the pump discharge is in a horizontal configuration, the motor must be shimmed to raise the front of the pump to avoid interference.

P030 Model
Use the following instructions to rotate the pump head on the P030 model.

1. Vertical Discharge
2. Horizontal Discharge

• Place the motor in an upright position, resting on the fan end of the motor.
• Remove the eight screws from the pump housing.
• Pull the housing away from the motor adapter/ barrier.
• Rotate the housing 90°, aligning the screw holes on the housing and motor adapter/barrier.
• Push down on the housing to seat it on the motor adapter/barrier.
• Reinstall the screws.

P045, P048, P075, P100, P137, P150, and P200 Models
Use the following instructions to rotate the pump head on the P045, P048, P075, P100, P137, P150, and P200 models.

1. Vertical Discharge
2. Horizontal Discharge

• Remove the four clamp ring bolts, lock washers, and flat washers.
• Rotate the clamp ring 90°, aligning the holes on the clamp ring and motor adapter/barrier.
• Reinstall the clamp ring bolts, lock washers, and flat washers.

Mounting the Pump
Use the following instructions to securely mount the pump in the desired location.

1. Sealant
2. Motor
3. Foot
4. Pump Head

• Place the pump motor in the desired location and mark the position of the mounting holes.
• Drill holes for the mounting screws.
• If the pump was packaged with plastic shipping shims, place the shims under the motor feet.
• Tighten the screws to secure the pump into position.
• Use an appropriate pipe sealant or tape on the threads and other piping connections.
• Tighten all connections, using appropriate tools for the selected piping materials.

Connecting the Piping
Use the following guidelines for connecting the piping.

• Place the piping with independent support near the pump to eliminate any strain on the pump casing.
• A strainer on the inlet pipe should be used to remove debris before the liquid enters the pump.
• Position the piping on the suction side of the pump in a straight and short configuration to minimize pipe friction.
• Keep bends and valves at least ten pipe diameters away from the suction and discharge.
• Install the suction piping to be level or sloping slightly upward toward the pump. To prevent air pockets, the suction line should not have any high spots.
• The suction line should be at least as large as the suction inlet port or one pipe size larger so that it does not affect the NPSHa. Do not reduce the suction line size.
• A check valve and control valve (if used) should be installed on the discharge line. The check valve helps prevent the pump from water hammer damage. This is particularly important when the static discharge head is high. The control valve is used for regulating flow.
• Isolation valves on the suction and discharge lines can be used to make the pump accessible for maintenance.
• If flexible hose is preferred, use a reinforced hose rated for the proper temperature, pressure and chemical resistance against the fluid being pumped.
• Use an appropriate pipe sealant or tape on the threads and other piping connections.
• The suction valve must be completely open to avoid restricting the suction flow.
• A flush system in the piping can be installed to allow the pump to be flushed before it is removed from service.
  IP048, P075, P100, P137, P150, and P200 pump models are provided with a provision for a customer-installed 1/4 in. (6 mm) drain in the impeller housing. For the best performance, ensure the pump piping is sized appropriately for the flow rate.

Connecting a Drain Plug or Valve (Optional)
A drain plug or valve can be installed in the impeller housing to provide the ability to connect a drain line for removing fluids before servicing the pump. The following instructions explain how to connect an optional drain plug or valve on the P048, P075, P137, P150, and P200 models.

1. Clamp the impeller housing to a drill press table.
2. Using a 7/16 in. drill and the molded boss as a guide, drill completely through the molded boss into the interior of the impeller housing.
3. Using a 1/4 in. NPT tap, tap the hole in the molded boss to the appropriate depth. IIDo not tap too deep or the impeller housing may be damaged
4. Install the drain plug or valve, being careful not to over-tighten.

Making the Electrical Connections
NOTICE: When installing the pump, follow these important considerations regarding the electricalconnections. Failure to follow the practices listed could result in damage to the pump.

• Prior to connecting to the power line, check thenameplate voltage and rotation connection, and ensure proper grounding.
• Check the pump voltage, frequency, and phase to ensure it matches the installation power source.
• Do not use or install the pump if the voltage, frequency, phase, and amp on the label are different from the supply circuit.
• Protect the motor with a fuse or circuit breaker. For three-phase motors, protect the motor with a phasefailure protection device.
• Some pumps are dual-voltage and will need to be wired to the specific voltage for your application.
• If utilized, verify that power monitors or variable frequency drives have been properly installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Follow National Electric Code, NEMA MG-2, IEC, and ABYC standards, requirements, and local electrical codes.
  Refer to the wiring diagram affixed to the pump.

Operation

NOTICE: This pump must be filled with liquid. Failure to prime the pump before operation could result in damage to the pump and components.
Follow the steps in this section for priming and starting the pump, verifying the motor rotation, and shutting down the pump.

Priming the Pump
This pump is not self priming. Mounting the pump below the water line helps prime the pump head.

1. Connect the external liquid source to the pump.
2. Open the inlet (suction) and discharge valves completely and allow the pump to fill with liquid.

Starting the Pump

1. Ensure all valves are open and the pump connections are secure. The pump requires positive suction at the pump head to prevent cavitation.
2. Close the discharge valve.
3. Turn the pump on.
4. Slowly open the discharge valve. Adjust the flow rate and pressure by regulating the discharge valve.
   Do not attempt to adjust the flow with the suction valve.

Verifying the Rotation of the Motor

1. Allow the motor to run for 1-2 seconds and observe the rotation of the motor fan.
2. Refer to the directional arrow molded into the pump casing or the rotational sticker at the rear of the pump motor. If the motor rotation direction matches the direction the arrows are pointing, rotation is correct.
   If the rotation is incorrect, check the wiring diagram on the pump and resolve wiring issues.
   A pump running backwards will pump but at a greatly reduced flow and pressure.

Shutting Down the Pump

1. Turn off the motor.
2. Slowly close the discharge valve.
3. Close the suction valve.

Maintenance

NOTICE: Failure to properly maintain the pump may void the warranty and could result in unsafe operation. Preventive maintenance is not covered under the warranty.
NOTICE: Before performing maintenance on this pump, it must be flushed and drained of all fluids.
The following maintenance and cleaning instructions should be performed at the intervals indicated, or as needed, depending on the use of the pump.

Recommended Maintenance Schedule

The recommended maintenance schedule depends upon the nature of the fluid being pumped and the specific application.

• If the pump is used on a clean fluid, remove the pump from service and perform an inspection after six months, or after 2,000 hours of operation.
• If the pump is used on fluids with solids, high temperatures, or other items that could cause accelerated wear, then this initial examination should be sooner.
• For the best results, remove the pump from service at least annually for disassembly and inspection.
  After the initial examination of the internal components and wear items are measured, a specific maintenance schedule can be determined.

Flushing and Draining the Pump
Drain the pump of fluids to remove internal pressure before performing maintenance.
