6 Description and function
The pumps of the Wilo-Drain LPC series are self-
priming centrifugal pumps with open multi-
vane impeller. Drive shaft and suction port are
horizontal, the discharge port is arranged verti-
cally.

DANGER! Danger to life!
Improper installation and incorrect electrical
connections can result in fatal injury.
• The installation and electrical connections
should only be made by properly skilled staff
and in compliance with applicable regulations!
• Follow all accident prevention regulations!
NOTE Use original accessories from Wilo, see cat-
alogue, for the optimum operation of the pump.
CAUTION! Danger of material damage!
Frost can freeze the pumping fluid and destroy
the pump.
• Make sure that the installation site is frost-free.
Solid particles that are too large can destroy the
pump.
• Use the appropriate inlet filter in the suction line
to make sure that the maximum permissible
grain size is not exceeded.
If set up incorrectly, this can damage the pump.
• Make sure that mobile pumps are set up
securely.
• For a fixed installation, screw the base plate to
the foundation.
Installation example (fig. 3)
Fig. 3 shows an example of a fixed installation with
accessories:
1 Pump
2 Suction line (accessory)
3 Pressure line (accessory)
4 Intake strainer (accessory)
• Lay the suction line with a gradient of at least 2%
(fig. 3) in upward direction towards the pump so
that no air bubbles can get trapped in the intake
line.
• The suction line should be a rigid line.
• The suction line should be as short as possible.
Avoid pressure losses if possible, e.g. due to elbow
pipes, constrictions or valves.
• The diameter of the suction line should at least be
equivalent to the pump's nominal width so as not
to affect the suction capacity and pump perform-
ance.
• The diameter of the pressure line must at least be
equivalent to the pump's nominal width.
• With mobile pumps, the pressure line may be
either rigid or flexible.
• Hold sealing material ready (e.g. with teflon tape).
