Location - Stuart Turner Monsoon Extra U1.4 bar Installation, Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

2 LOCATION - GENERAL
2.11 Access: For emergencies and maintenance the pump must be
2.12 Protection: The pump must be located in a dry position, frost free and
2.13 Ventilation: Ensure an adequate air flow to cool the pump. Separate
2.14 Safety: The motor casing can become very hot under normal
2.15 Water retention: If possible site the pump in a location where in the
2.16 Static inlet pressure: Before deciding where to locate the unit check to ensure
the static inlet head between pump and cold water level (Figs. 6 & 7) is at least
1 metre and does not exceed the max inlet head of 8 metres for the U1.4 and
10 metres for other models.
2.17 Pump position: The pump must be positioned on its anti-vibration mounting feet
and as close to the water source as possible.
2.18 Ambient temperature: The pump must be sited in a location where the maximum
ambient temperature does not exceed 40
2.19 Pipework: For optimum performance pipework use 28 mm dia., 22 mm can be
used but will result in reduced pump performance.
Pipework should only reduce to 15 mm when entering terminal fitting.
2.20 Static outlet pressure: The static outlet head (Figs. 6 & 7) must also be within
the maximum requirement of 8 metres for U1.4 and 13 metres for all other
models.
2.21 Noise: The anti-vibration mounting feet and flexible hoses which are supplied
as standard, and a precaution to reduce noise transmission, however care must
be taken when mounting the pump that any noise is not amplified through loose
panels or pipework. Do not screw down the pump.
2.22 Direction of flow: Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the arrow marked
on the flow switch reed clamp (vertically upwards).
2.23 Flexible hoses: Use only Stuart Turner supplied hoses.
2.24 Isolating valves: Separate isolating valves (non restrictive) must be fitted to
allow easy pump service.
2.25 Preferred pump location: The preferred pump location is at floor level next to
the hot water cylinder or a level that is below the secondary tapping that feeds
the pump. This will ensure the pump has access to an air free water supply
which is important for trouble free operation (Figs. 6 & 7).
Pump location is also dependent on limitations of the static inlet and outlet heads
of the installation. For guidance on limitations and recommended location,
consult the following relevant section for hot or cold water installation.
