3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your circulator pump. Ensure all safety instructions are followed.
Installation Requirements:
- The pump must be installed horizontally.
- Ensure the water flow direction matches the arrow on the pump body.
- The installation location should be easily accessible for maintenance.
- Ensure adequate space around the pump for ventilation and service.
- Use appropriate tools and sealing materials for leak-free connections.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the System: Turn off the main power to the heating system and drain the water from the relevant section where the pump will be installed.
- Position the Pump: Select a suitable location on the return line of the heating system. The pump must be installed horizontally. Do not position the pump head facing up or down.
- Attach Flange Connections: Secure the 1-inch (25.40 mm) flange connections to the pump body using the provided hex screws and nuts. Ensure the sealing rings are correctly placed to prevent leaks.
- Connect to Piping: Connect the pump with its attached flanges to the heating system's piping. Ensure the water flow direction in the pipes aligns with the arrow on the pump casing.
- Fill and Bleed: Slowly refill the heating system, bleeding air from the system as it fills. Ensure the pump is completely submerged in water before powering on.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the power cord to a grounded AC 120V/60Hz outlet. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.
- Check for Leaks: After filling the system, carefully inspect all connections for any signs of leaks.
