Installation / Connection - Brinkmann BFS Series Operating Instructions Manual

5 Installation / Connection

5.1 Mechanical installation
Installation
The pumps can be mounted either horizontally
(foot mounted inline version) or vertically (immer-
sion style).
For safety reasons installations with "motor
facing down are not allowed".
Pumps must be mounted securely. Piping, tank
and pumps must be mounted without any tension.
The actual mounting of the pumps depends on
size, style and motor used and might be influen-
ced by actual limitations or restrictions on site. In
any case, the pumps must always be mounted
securely.
Piping

Follow the recommended piping installation
guide lines as well as the required tightening
torques (see tables 1 and 2).

Work carried out on high pressure screw
fittings, pipes and hoses should only be per-
formed by authorized specialists and must
consider the applicable standards and local
legislation.

Only use components which are rated for high
pressure (i.e. no brass)!

Do not use fluid sealant or adhesives near the
pump or the pressure relief valve (risk of bond-
ing).

Connect and disconnect the pressure line only
when pump and relief valve are de-energized.

Do not prop up the pressure line via the joining
socket.

Do not climb onto the pressure line.

Connect the suction line, pressure line and
positive pressure outflow line as shown in
drawing 2, see chapter 7.1.
