Installation - Pulsar 79214 Manuel Du Propriétaire

INST ALLA TION
NOTE: This booster pump is designed without a strainer.
However, a strainer that meets NSF 50 requirements can
be used with the pump.
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install
pump and wiring.
Pump may be bolted to level
foundation or mounting bracket.

Port threads:
Internal - 2" NPT for direct connection to pipe. External -
3" Buttress. Fits U11-200PS Union Collar for quick
disconnect pipe connection.
Order: Union Kit #42001-0402 (2" Union Halves).
Pump mount must:
Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce
vibration and pipe stress, bolt pump to mount.)
Install pump with suction port below water level (flooded
suction) only. Pump does not lift water.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (To reduce friction
losses).
Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.

NOTICE: When connecting threaded pipe directly to
pump, use Teflon tape or Plasto-Joint Stik to seal
connections. Do not use pipe dope; pipe dope causes
cracking in some plastics and may damage components
in piping system.
When connecting threaded pipe to pump with union
half, use Teflon tape or Plasto-Joint Stik between pipe
and union adapter. Union collar to pump should be
assembled dry and hand-tight. Make sure O-ring is
seated in groove.
NOTICE: Pump suction and discharge connections
have molded in thread stops. DO NOT try to screw pipe
in beyond these stops.
Teflon Taping Instructions:
Use only new or clean PVC pipe fittings.
Wrap male pipe threads with one to two layers of Teflon
tape. Cover entire threaded portion of pipe.
Do not overtighten or tighten past thread stop in pump
port!
If leaks occur, remove pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap
with one to two additional layers of tape and remake the
connection.
NOTICE: Support all piping connected with pump!
Piping:
Use at least 1-1/2" (38mm) pipe (use 2"(51mm) pipe if
possible). Increase size if a long run is needed. When
using 1-1/2" pipe, connect to pump with 1-1/2" to 2" (38
to 51mm) reducing adapter.
To avoid strains on the pump, support both suction and
discharge pipes independently. Place these supports
near the pump.
To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection,
start all piping at the pump and run pipe away from the
pump.
To avoid airlocking, slope suction pipe slightly upward
toward the pump.
NOTICE: To prevent flooding when removing pump for
service, all flooded suction systems must have gate
valves in suction and discharge pipes.
