LOCATION - GENERAL
• Access: For emergencies and maintenance the pump must be
easily accessible.
• Protection: The pump must be located in a dry position, frost free
and protected from freezing. Ensure the pump is in a dry
position, away from heat sources, such as radiators and heaters.
• Ventilation: Ensure an adequate air flow to cool the pump.
Separate the pump from other appliances that generate heat. An
80 mm air gap must be maintained to allow free air flow through
the fan cowl and over the motor at all times.
• Safety: The motor casing can become very hot under normal
operating conditions. Care must be taken to ensure it cannot be
touched during operation.
• Water retention: Site the pump in a location where in the unlikely
event of a water leak, any spillage is contained or routed to
avoid electrics or areas sensitive to water damage.
• Location point: The pump must be located after the mains water
stop cock, in-line to the connection to the boiler. Do not site the
pump in the roof space, since air locks can easily result.
• Pump position: The pump must be positioned on its anti-vibration
mounting feet and as close to the water source as possible.
• Direction of flow: Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the
arrow, as marked on the flow switch reed clamp.
