INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
This pump comes completely assembled.
Before attempting to install your Hypro centrifugal pump, it is
imperative to read and understand the following:
Installation of a Hypro pump should only be performed
by a technician having the knowledge and skills necessary to
install the pump without the risk of property damage or injury.
Pumping systems must be installed in accordance with
Pentair installation instructions. Failure to do so will void
your warranty and could cause damage to property, serious
personal injury, or death.
Electrical power cables and pump hoses must be
routed where there is no risk of personnel tripping, walking
into, or falling because they have been routed in areas where
personnel are expected to move. Electrical power cables and
pump hoses should be routed according to local and national
standards.
Installers must provide hydraulic components that are
capable of withstanding maximum source pressure.
The working pressure must be controlled by a pressure
relief valve that is adjusted to operate at a maximum pressure
of the hydraulic motor.
If a rigid plumbing system is to be used on a Hypro
centrifugal pump, the system must be properly aligned with
the inlet and outlet ports.
The working pressure in the hydraulics system must
be controlled by a pressure relief valve that is adjusted to
operate at 10% over the maximum system pressure.
L-1578 (08-15-2023)
When installing, adjusting or removing a Hypro
centrifugal pump, ensure that there are no objects which
can fall on the installer and make certain that all machinery
to which the pump is to be attached is turned off.
Pumps must be installed in a location where they are
accessible for any necessary maintenance.
When hydraulic power is used, the system should
contain a quick disconnect coupling that can be
disconnected to isolate the pump.
STANDARD MOUNTING
In order to prevent injury or damage to property, all Hypro pumps
should be properly mounted to a solid base where there is no
danger of the pump falling or breaking loose. All Hypro pumps
come with mounting holes which allow bolts to be put into the
pump so it can be secured to a sturdy base.
Self-priming models must have both the main mounting
flange AND the discharge mounting bracket securely and
rigidly mounted to a sturdy base.
When mounting your Hypro centrifugal pump, be sure to use
bolts and nuts which are compatible with any chemicals that
may come into contact with them as well as choosing the correct
grade of bolt based on the pump weight and any expected loads.
Pump should be mounted with support for discharge end. Pumps
should be mounted as close to the liquid source as possible. Non
self-priming pumps must be mounted below the liquid level to
function properly.
Self priming pumps must be installed with an upward
oriented elbow or vertical rise of hose that will allow fluid to be
retained in the pump cavity. Without fluid in the cavity, the pump
may not self prime and damage to internal components can
occur if the pump is run completely dry.
