Diaphragm-liquid pump NF 1.60 Installation and connection 6.3. Hydraulic connection Connected Only connect components to the pump that are designed to components handle the hydraulic data of the pump (see Chapter 4, Technical data). Hoses Only use hoses that are suitable for the maximum operating pressure of the pump (see Chapter 4).
Excessive pressures and the dangers thus caused can be prevented by using a bypass system with a pressure relief valve between the pressure and suction side of the pump. Further information is available from your KNF specialist (Telephone number: see first page). Pump standstill ...
