Depending on the pipe material and connection, glue it (PVC), Warning weld it (PP, PVDF or stainless steel) or press it in (stainless The pump housing must only be opened by steel). personnel authorised by Grundfos! • Fit the gasket. • Screw onto the valve using the union nut.
7. Commissioning 7.1 Checks before start-up • Check that the rated voltage stated on the pump nameplate corresponds to the local conditions! • Check that all connections are secure and tighten, if necessary. • Check that the dosing head screws are tightened with the specified torque and tighten, if necessary.
