Typical Installation; Discharge Line - Franklin Electric FCE Serie Guide D'utilisation

These valves are available from your pump supplier. It must be
ensured that the foot valve remains well submerged at all times.
If large debris is present at the suction point, install a filtration
device to prevent the debris from entering the pump.

c) DISCHARGE LINE: A priming plug should be installed as
shown in Fig. 2. Long hose or pipe lengths add resistance
to water flow which therefore reduces pumping capacity.
Use standard approved pipe or hose suitable for the
pumping pressures which develop and use lengths only
as necessary to reach the discharge point. Avoid using
nozzles or reducing fittings on the discharge line if they
are not required in your application. The discharge pipe
or hose should be at least as large as the discharge
thread opening on the pump casing. If long line lengths
are required, increase pipe/hose size accordingly. Avoid
unnecessary bends in lines. Proper installation will enable
efficient service from your pump.

Thread compound should be used on all pipe joints. All
connections should be thoroughly tightened. A leak in the
suction line may prevent a complete prime and will reduce
pump operating performance. Fig. 2 shows a typical
pump installation.

d) WIRING: All wiring, electrical connections, and system
grounding must comply with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and with any local codes and ordinances. Employ
a licensed electrician. It is recommended that a separate
circuit be led from the distribution panel to the pump unit. A
proper fused disconnect switch is to be installed in the line,
making sure that the correct gauge of cable is used to carry
the load. Very long leads will require a larger cable. For all
3-phase motors a separate manual thermal overload switch
or a magnetic starter having the proper size heater elements
must be installed. An electrician should be employed to do
the wiring. After wiring is complete check the impeller rotation
by switching the motor on for one second only.
