Installation Considerations
Installation Considerations
1. Considerations
a. Mounting
i. Audex pumps should be either suspended from provided lifting points or rings, or
suspended by purpose designed clamps around the pump.
ii. Audex pumps should never be stood on the base of a tank where silt or sand could build
up.
iii. Ensure that the cable has no sharp bends, is not pinched, and cannot be drawn into the
pump inlet.
iv. Ensure that the hose or pipework is firmly attached to the pump outlet.
v. The pump should never be suspended by the cable or pipework.
b. Suction requirements
i. All Audex pumps require submersion up to the rated continuous working level as a
minimum. This information is in the data tables later in this manual.
ii. All Audex pumps have a maximum submersion pressure, this information is in the data
tables later in this manual.
iii. The pump strainer / inlet should never be blocked.
iv. The fluid should not contain particles with any dimensions larger than the rated pump
solids passage.
c. Ensure that the pump noise level is below the site / location permittable level.
