Mechanical Installation

Location:
Decide on an appropriate location for the pump installation that is suitable based on the INDOOR
enclosure rating of the Inline Pressure Boosting System. Choose a clean, well-ventilated location
that provides protection from freezing, flooding, and excessive heat. In addition, it should provide
access for servicing and allow convenient draining of the pump housing, pressure tank, and
service pipe. (NOTE: Should the unlikely event of internal leakage occur, install the pump in such a
way that no considerable collateral damage can arise.)
Inline 400 Installation Orientation:
It is preferred (for ease of priming) to install the Inline 400 unit in a VERTICAL orientation. The unit,
however, can be installed in the HORIZONTAL position as long as the Air-Bleed valve is facing
upwards.
In VERTICAL installations, the Inline 400 comes standard with the flow direction being from LEFT
to RIGHT when mounted vertically on a wall. This flow direction can be easily changed to RIGHT to
LEFT by removing the two head mounting bolts, rotating the pump 180 degrees, and re-installing
the head mounting bolts. It is then possible to remove the (6) Control Cap screws and rotate 180
degrees to place the Status Display in a viewable orientation. (note: be careful when rotating the
control cap as there is an electrical cable attached to the head.)
