Fluid Supply Line<br />

See FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, pages 11 and 12.<br />

1. Use grounded fluid supply lines (G). See<br />

Grounding, page 7.<br />

2. If the inlet fluid pressure to the pump is<br />

more than <strong>25</strong>% of the outlet working pressure,<br />

the ball check valves will not close<br />

fast enough, resulting in inefficient pump<br />

operation. Excessive inlet fluid pressure<br />

also will shorten diaphragm life. Approximately<br />

3 - 5 psi (0.02- 0.03 MPa,<br />

0.21-0.34 bar) should be adequate for most<br />

materials.<br />

Fluid Outlet Line<br />

See FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, pages 11 and 12.<br />

1. Use grounded, flexible fluid hoses (L). See<br />

Grounding, page 7.<br />

2. Install a fluid drain valve (J) near the fluid<br />

outlet.<br />

3. Install a shutoff valve (K) in the fluid outlet<br />

line.<br />

3. At inlet fluid pressures greater than 15 psi<br />

(0.1 MPa, 1 bar), diaphragm life will be<br />

shortened.<br />

4. For maximum suction lift (wet and dry), see<br />

Technical Data, page 23. For best results,<br />

always install the pump as close as possible<br />

to the material source.<br />
