  • Page 17: Setting Up The Pump By Itself (Variant B, Wilo Variant Key)

    The base must be able to support the unit installed on the baseplate indefinitely. The base must be level to ensure there is no tension on the baseplate or unit. Wilo recommends using premium, non-shrink concrete of an adequate thickness for manufacturing. This would pre- vent vibrations from being transmitted.
  • Page 18 Installation and electrical connection Wilo recommends initially pouring the concrete base up to about 1 inch below the planned height. The surface of the concrete base must be well contoured before curing. Remove the pipe sleeves after the concrete cures. When the concrete base is poured out, insert steel rods vertically into the base at regular in- tervals.
  • Page 19: Pipework

    ƒ The pipes must be fixed in such a way that the pump does not have to support the weight of the pipes. ƒ Clean, flush and purge the unit before connecting the pipes. Installation and operating instructions Wilo NL-HE...
