Cavitation depends on the vapor pressure of the
pumped liquid, the system suction pressure, and the
velocity pressure. It can be reduced by changing any
of these factors.

temperature of the pumped liquid.

Pumped liquid viscosity is also very important but
normally is controlled by factors that are process
dependent and cannot be changed to reduce
cavitation. Viscous liquids are more difficult to pump
and more prone to cavitation.

Mount The Pump
To avoid serious injury from toxic fluid or fumes:
• Ventilate to a remote area. The pump
exhaust air may contain contaminants. See
Air Exhaust Ventilation, page 11.
• Never move or lift a pump under pressure. If
dropped, the fluid section may rupture. Always
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 14,
before moving or lifting the pump.
Installation
1. Be sure the mounting surface can support the
weight of the pump, hoses, and accessories, as
well as the stress caused during operation.
2. For all mountings, be sure the pump is secured
with screws through the mounting feet. Always
mount the pump upright.
3. Make sure the surface is flat and that the pump
doesn’t wobble.
4. For ease of operation and service, mount the
pump so air valve, air inlet, fluid inlet and fluid
outlet ports are easily accessible.

Installation
Ground The Sys
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk of static sparking. Static sparking can cause
fumes to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an
escape wire for the electrical current.
• Always ground the entire fluid system as
described below.
• The pumps are not conductive. Any system
used to pump flammable fluids must be properly
grounded.
• Follow your local fire codes.
Before operating the pump, ground the system as
explained below.
• Pump: Always ground the entire fluid system by
making sure the fluid has an electrical path to a
true earth ground.
• Air and fluid hoses: Use only flexible grounded
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined
hose length to ensure grounding continuity.
• Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Fluid supply container: Follow local code.
• Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow local
code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed
on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail
on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.
