Installation
Air Exhaust Ventilation
The air exhaust port is 3/8 npt(f). Do not restrict the air
exhaust port. Excessive exhaust restriction can cause
erratic pump operation.
To exhaust to a remote location:
1.
Remove the muffler (11) from the pump air exhaust
port.
2.
Install an electrically conductive air exhaust hose (X)
and connect the muffler to the other end of the hose.
The minimum size for the air exhaust hose is 3/8 in.
(10 mm) ID. If a hose longer than 15 ft (4.57 m) is
required, use a larger diameter hose. Avoid sharp
bends or kinks in the hose.
3.
Place a container (Z) at the end of the air exhaust
line to catch fluid in case a diaphragm ruptures. If the
fluid is flammable, ground the container. See F
VENTING EXHAUST AIR (Submerged Installation Shown)
See F
. 4 for accessories

WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Be sure to read FIRE AND EXPLOSION
HAZARD and TOXIC FLUID HAZARD on
page 3, before operating this pump.
Be sure the system is properly ventilated
for your type of installation. You must vent
the exhaust to a safe place, away from
people, animals, food handling areas, and
all sources of ignition when pumping
flammable or hazardous fluids.
Diaphragm failure will cause the fluid being pumped to
exhaust with the air. Place an appropriate container at
the end of the air exhaust line to catch the fluid. See
F
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious eye injury
from ice particles, never operate the
pump with the air exhaust port open. Ice
may form during pump operation, and ice particles
will be ejected from the port along with the exhaust
air. If the muffler (11) is removed, always connect an
air exhaust hose to the exhaust port.
