NOTE – No system should allow any higher than 8-ft/sec (2.44 meters/sec) water velocity. It is recommended
that a minimum length of piping, equivalent to 10 pipe diameters, be used between the pump suction inlet and
any plumbing fittings.
PLUMBING
Use Teflon tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. All plastic fittings must be new
or thoroughly cleaned before use. NOTE - Do NOT use Plumber's Pipe Dope as it may cause cracking
of the plastic components. When applying Teflon tape to plastic threads, wrap the entire threaded portion
of the male fitting with one to two layers of tape. Wind the tape clockwise as you face the open end of the
fitting, beginning at the end of the fitting. The pump suction and outlet ports have molded-in thread stops. Do
NOT attempt to force hose connector fitting past this stop. It is only necessary to tighten fittings enough
to prevent leakage. Tighten fitting by hand and then use a tool to engage fitting an additional 1-1/2 turns. Use
care when using Teflon tape as friction is reduced considerably; do NOT over-tighten fitting or you may
cause damage. If leaks occur, remove connector, clean off old Teflon tape, re-wrap with one to two additional
layers of Teflon tape, and re-install connector.
FITTINGS
Fittings restrict flow. For better efficiency, use the fewest possible fittings (but at least two suction outlets).
Avoid fittings that could cause an air trap. Pool and spa fittings MUST conform to the International Association
of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards. Use a non-entrapping suction fitting in pool (multiple
drains) or double suction (skimmer and main drain).
