Ace centrifugal pumps are straight centrifugals and must be primed prior to operation. The word
"primed" means the pump must be completely full of water and any trapped air vented before the
pump is operated. Following the pump mounting guidelines will insure proper priming of the pump
and avoid premature seal failure.
The following are basic guidelines for proper pump mounting:
¾ The pump should be mounted below the tank(s) allowing gravity to naturally fill the pump with
liquid.
¾ The volute should be oriented with the discharge port pointing up (A) or across the top (B) of
the pump which allows air to rise out of the pump.
If the volute must be oriented at the
bottom (C) or across the bottom (D):
1. A vent line is required to continually
bleed air from the pump housing.
It should be installed from the
highest pipe plug hole to the top
of the sprayer tank.
2. A petcock valve can also be installed in the highest pipe plug hole to bleed the air manually
each time the tanks are filled.
¾ If the pump must be located above the liquid level, a foot valve should be installed to maintain
the pump's prime.
