PIPING – DISCHARGE
• Install a tee at the discharge connection of the pump. The
top opening of the tee is required for initial priming. See
Figure 1.

cause death.
Electrical supply MUST match pump's nameplate
specifications. Incorrect voltage can cause fire,
damage to the motor, and voids warranty.
Motors without built-in protection MUST be pro-
vided with contactors and thermal overloads for
single phase motors, or starters with heaters for
three phase motors. See motor nameplate.
• Follow motor manufacturer's wiring diagram on the mo-
tor nameplate or terminal cover carefully.
• Use only copper wire to motor and ground. The ground
wire MUST be at least as large as the wire to the motor.
Wires should be color coded for ease of maintenance.

• Fill pump through opening in top of tee with clean water.
See Figure 1.
• Install pipe plug in top using Teflon™ tape or equivalent
on male threads.
NOTICE: IF PUMP IS DRAINED OR SHUT OFF DURING
PRIMING PERIOD, ENSURE CASING IS
REFILLED BEFORE RESTARTING PUMP.
• Start the pump motor and wait for system pressure to sta-
bilize. If system pressure is surging, or prolonged pressure
drop is experienced, the system may not be completely
primed.

ROTATION

NOTICE: INCORRECT ROTATION MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE PUMP AND VOIDS THE
WARRANTY.
• Correct rotation is right hand, CLOCKWISE when viewed
from the motor end.
• Single phase motors with more than 4 wires (leads) may
be reversible designs. Insure that the motor is rotating
in the correct direction. See motor nameplate for wiring
instructions.
• Three phase unit rotation may be checked by removing
motor end cap or plug and observing rotation of motor
shaft. To reverse rotation, reverse any two of the three
motor leads.

and drain all piping.
• To RETURN pump to service, replace all drain plugs us-
ing Teflon™ tape or equivalent.
