Electrical Installation
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• Always disconnect the electrical power before working on or around the system.
• Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance
with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).
• Some pumps are supplied with lead wires and are intended to be hardwired using a junction box or
other approved enclosure. The pumps include a grounding connector. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is properly connected to ground.
• Some pumps are supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To
reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-
type receptacle. Do not remove the third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the pump
to help prevent possible electric shock hazard.
Employ a licensed electrician to perform all wiring. All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable
national and local electrical codes.
1. Disconnect electrical power at the main breaker.
2. The pump should be wired to its own circuit, with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit.
3. Verify that the dedicated branch circuit for the Inline 400 is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker.
4. Check that the power supply corresponds with the electrical rating of the Inline 400 being installed.
Supply voltage must be
5. Every installation must be grounded. There must be a reliable ground connection between the pump
and the main electric panel.
6. Unit should be plugged into an outlet that matches the voltage of the unit purchased, or wired directly
to a dedicated circuit junction box (for 50 Hz models, as they have no plug on the power cord).

Priming the System

Refer to "Plumbing Considerations for Priming Purposes" on page 9
Risk of bodily injury or property damage.
• The Inline 400 Pressure Boosting System can develop very high pressure in some situations.
• Always install a pressure relief valve able to pass full pump flow at 120 psi (6.9 bar). Install the pres-
sure relief valve near the pressure tank.
• It might be necessary to install a pressure reducing valve to limit the potential boost. Install the
pressure reducing valve after the pressure tank.
Prior to system start up, all air must be removed from the entire system. The Inline 400 comes with an air
bleed valve to assist with eliminating the air.
1. Close all system water outlets.
2. Using a small flathead screwdriver, slowly open the air bleed valve (located directly under the pump outlet).
3. Open inlet valves to allow water supply to enter the pump. Be prepared for air mixed with some water to
be discharged through the air bleed valve. It may be handy to have a small bucket to catch the water.
