FITTINGS AND VALVES
1.
Do not install 90° elbows directly into pump inlet.
2. Flooded suction systems should have gate valves
installed on suction and discharge pipes for main-
tenance, however, the suction gate valve should
be no closer than five times the suction pipe di-
ameter as described in this section.
3. Use a check valve (non-return valve) in the dis-
charge line when using this pump for any appli-
cation where there is significant height to the
plumbing after the pump.
4. Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in
parallel with another pump. This helps prevent
reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.

Install all equipment in accordance with
the National Electrical code and all ap-
plicable local codes and ordinances.
Sufficient equipotential bonding (min. 4.5mm²
recommended), in accordance with local regula-
tion, is required on all metal components of the
pool including the pool pump. It is required for
electrical safety as well as to reduce the risk of
corrosion.
2. A means for disconnection must be incorporated
in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring
rules.
3. Do not mount electrical controls directly over
