B. Discharge Port Connections (Figure 5)
Step 1:
Thread male adapter or pipe nipple into discharge port
on top of pump. (Use PTFE tape on thread).
Step 2:
Connect pipe between the sprinkler manifold and
the pump discharge. Discharge pipe size should
increase with long pipe runs. Discharge pipe size
may equal discharge port size for distances up to
100'. Increase discharge pipe size by one size for
distances of 100' to 300'. For 300' to 600', increase
pipe size by two sizes. This will reduce pressure loss
caused by friction.
Step 3:
Tighten all threaded pipe connections with pipe wrench
until snug. Do not over tighten.
