PUMPING CONNECTIONS
- It is very convenient to use new pipes, prefer-
ably galvanized, along with some product to
seal connections (SURTEK
Cement, Pola, etc.). Use the fewer bends as pos-
sible.
- Follow carefully the manufacturer's instruc-
tions when installing plastic connections and
pipes.
ALWAYS USE PIPING WITH A DIAMETER
EQUAL OR WIDER THAN THE SUCTION HOLE OF
THE PUMP, NEVER SMALLER.
- Upon connecting the first pipe or nipple be
careful not to put it in too deep since it could
damage the pump (tighten by hand and with
tool 1 ½ more turns.
- At the bottom of the suction pipe, perfectly
install a metallic foot valve of a diameter wider
than the suction pipe. This is not necessary for
self-priming pumps.
- For maximum discharge efficiency, use a pipe
of at least the same diameter of the pump hole
or of the next higher diameter.
- For pumps that do not have self-priming hole,
you may make one with a "Y" or "T" connec-
tion and a male valve or cap on the side of the
discharge.

- As for pumps of the Industrial Line, change the
direction of the discharge if necessary. This is
done by removing the screws that unite the top
and then turn it, being careful not to damage
the joint, stripping the screws of seal the pump
improperly.
THE GREAT MAJORITY OF FURTHER PROB-
LEMS ARE DUE TO DEFECTIVE CONNECTIONS OR
BADLY SEALING THE PIPES. BE CAREFUL WHEN
MAKING THEM.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT: Make always sure to do all
the connections with power off in the line(s). A
wrong connection to the system or to ground
may cause an electrical shock.
· Verify the plaque of your motor, the voltage
that must be used, how much current it con-
sumes and how to make the appropriate con-
nections. Before connecting, verify the voltage
of the power line.
· Install a switch (preferably thermomagnetic or
fuse) with a capacity according to the current
needs of your motor (amperage). As for three-
phase motors, always use a starter and verify the
direction of the rotation, and have overcharge
protection.
· Properly select the cable to be used, depending
on the distance where the power outlet is lo-
cated and the amperage (current consumption
of your motor).
· Connect the pump to a physical ground circuit.
· The power cables are coded with the follow-
ing colors:
Green and Yellow: Earth
White: Neutral
Black: Current
IMPORTANT: After the connection was
made, carefully verify that the voltage at the
wires that will be connected to your motor
pump is the voltage needed for operation. If
voltage is different, correct it.
ATTENTION: After the connections are com-
pleted and before connecting to the power line,
make sure that this switch is open and all the ca-
bles and unions are duly isolated and protected.
WARNING: ALWAYS DO THE CONNECTIONS
WITHOUT POWER IN THE LINE.
