PUMP CONNECTIONS

• Do not use stainless steel, chrome or nickel plated pipe with the
flexible hose push-in plumbing connections.
•
Do not introduce solder flux into the joint or surrounding area as
connectors will be attacked and will fail.
• All solder joints should be completed and flux residues removed
before final connection to push-in connections, on the flexible
hose.
• Do not allow contact with oil or cellulose based paints, paint
thinners or strippers, acid based descalents or aggressive
cleaning agents.
• Never operate pump with inlet and/or outlet isolating valves in
the closed position. Damage will occur!
8.1 Flexible Inlet and Outlet Hoses
The pump inlet and outlet ports are threaded G ¾ M. These ports are provided
with a flat sealing face suitable for use with an appropriately sized flat faced fitting
and fibre or rubber washer. Ensure a water tight seal is achieved when the pump is
both stationary and running.
Use correct tool for opening and closing integrated isolating valve to prevent
damage.
Please note these valves are of quarter turn design, rotate clockwise to close and
anti-clockwise to open. Failure to comply with these instructions could lead to
valve damage.
WARNING: Pump must not run with valve closed.
Flexible hoses with integral isolating valves do not replace system isolation valves
which must be installed.
