WATER CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT: The pump must not be connected to the power supply until the
hose/pipe installation is completed.
If any part of the system is to be connected to the mains water supply, ensure
that you comply with your local water authority regulations.
Because of the variety of possible installations, no plumbing accessories are
supplied as standard with your pump. However, accessories designed
specifically for this range of pumps are available from your CLARKE dealer
and are listed on page 10.
The pump must always be installed and operated in a horizontal position i.e.
with the outlet port facing upwards. The fixing holes in the base should be
used as necessary to secure the pump firmly in its operating position. Always
ensure that there is adequate air circulation around the motor.
Avoid situations where there is the risk of water coming into contact with the
outside of the pump. Neither the motor or the terminal box are designed to
be waterproof.
These notes are for guidance on
how to achieve a good working
system.
The schematic diagram illustrates
a typical pipework installation.
The suction lift i.e. the vertical
distance between the water level
and the pump should not exceed
the distance specified for your
pump. (See Specification page 3)
A foot valve and filter should be fitted to the lower end of the suction hose, as
illustrated below, so as to help retain water in the suction system and to
prevent the possibility of large foreign
bodies entering the pump body.
A 1" BSP hose adapter will be required for
connection to the inlet port. This is
available from your CLARKE dealer.
The performance of your pump will be
effected by the diameter of the inlet pipe -
any restriction will greatly reduce the flow.
We strongly recommend that you use a
pipe which is as large a diameter as
practical, with a suitable reducer for
connection to the 1" BSP inlet port.
