3.1 Read this booklet
This booklet is designed to help a certified
installer to install, begin operation of, and
troubleshoot the Grundfos Small UP and UPS
pumps.
Following the instructions will ensure safe,
trouble-free operation.
This booklet should be left with the owner of the
pump for future reference and information
regarding its operation. Should the owner
experience any problems with the pump, a
certified professional should be contacted.
3.2 Electrical work
All electrical work should be performed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code, local
codes and regulations.
Warning
A faulty motor or wiring can cause
electrical shock that could be fatal,
whether touched directly or
conducted through standing water.
For this reason, proper grounding
of the pump to the power supply's
grounding terminal is required for
safe installation and operation.
In all installations, the
above-ground metal plumbing
should be connected to the power
supply ground as described in the
National Electrical Code. All wiring
must comply with the National
Electrical Code, state, and local
regulations.
4.1 Confirm you have the correct pump
• Read the pump nameplate to ensure it is the
one you ordered.
• Compare the pump's nameplate data and its
performance curve (for head, gpm, etc.) with
the application in which you plan to install it.
• Will the pump do what you expect it to do?
4.1.1 Pump to system type recommendations
• Open systems (i.e. potable water): Stainless
steel or bronze volute (pump housing) only.
• Closed systems (i.e. airless, non-potable
water): Cast iron, stainless steel, or bronze
volute (pump housing).
Other considerations regarding Grundfos small
UP and UPS pumps:
• These pumps are intended for indoor use
only.
• If installed outdoors the pump must be
protected by an appropriate, well ventilated,
water-tight enclosure to keep out moisture
and dirt.
• Minimum ambient temperatures must be no
lower than 33 °F ( 1 ° C ).
• For ambient and fluid temperature see
sections 4.4 Pumped liquid requirements
and 9. Additional technical data.
4.2 Check the condition of the pump
The pump's shipping carton is specially
designed around the pump during production to
prevent damage.
As a precaution, it should remain in the carton
until you are ready to install it. At that point, look
at the pump and examine it for any damage that
may have occurred during shipping.
Examine any other parts of the shipment as well
for any visible damage. Once the pump has
been removed from the box, care should be
taken NOT to drop or mishandle the pump.
Box contents:
• one pump
• two gaskets (flanged units only)
• one Installation and Operation Instruction

4.3 Verify electrical requirements
Note
Caution
Verify the electrical supply to be certain the
voltage, phase and frequency match that of the
pump motor. The proper operating voltage and
other electrical information can be found on the
pump nameplate.
This pump's motor is designed to run on ± 10 %
of the nameplate-rated voltage.
4.4 Pumped liquid requirements
Warning
The Grundfos Small UP/UPS pump
is intended for use with water only.
The pump must not be used for the
transfer of flammable liquids such
as diesel oil, gasoline, and similar
liquids.
The pump is not for pool or marine
use.
The pump can be used to circulate:
• Potable hot water.
• Water containing glycol for hydronic heating
(see section 9. Additional technical data for
additional limitations).
• Cooling water.
In domestic hot-water systems it is advisable to
use stainless steel pump housing versions of
this pump.
All pump types (stainless, bronze or cast iron
pump housing) should not be used in water with
a degree of hardness lower than 14 grains per
gallon of hardness.
Fluids should be clean and should not contain
solid particles, fibers, or mineral oils.
If the pump is installed in a heating system, the
water should meet the requirements of accepted
standards on water quality in heating systems.
The fluid should not contain solid particles,
fibers, or mineral oils.
The pump is lubricated and cooled by the liquid
being pumped. Therefore, the pumped liquid
must always be allowed to circulate through the
pump.
Extended periods without circulation will cause
premature wear to the bearings and excessive
motor heat.
The pumped liquid must meet the temperature
requirements listed in the following charts.
Fluid must never be allowed to
freeze during non-operational
periods.
In domestic hot-water systems, it is
recommended to keep the liquid
temperature below 149 °F (65 °C) to
eliminate the risk of lime
precipitation.

5. Installation procedures
Warning
Never make any connections in the
pump terminal box unless the
electrical supply has been
switched off.
The pump should not be connected
to the electrical system until it has
been properly installed in the
piping system.
Warning
Risk of electrical shock - this pump
has not been investigated for use
in swimming pool or marine areas.
5.1 Piping considerations
When making piping connections, be sure to
follow the piping manufacturer's
recommendations and all code requirements for
piping material.
Thoroughly clean and flush all dirt and sediment
from the system before attempting to install the
pump.
5.1.1 Location in the piping line
The pump should never be located at the lowest
point of the piping system (where dirt and
sediment collect), nor should it be located at the
highest point of the piping system (where air
accumulates).
Warning
The pump must be positioned so
that someone cannot accidentally
come into contact with the hot
surfaces of the pump.
When installing the pump into the piping system,
Grundfos recommends that pressure gauges be
installed in the inlet and discharge flanges or
pipes. This will allow the pump and system
performance to be checked.
Do not block the pipe plugs in the pump housing
flanges by locating the terminal box over these
plugs.
5.1.2 Mounting positions
The arrows on the pump housing indicate the
direction of water flow. The pump may be
installed in vertical or horizontal piping, but the motor shaft must always remain horizontal,
as shown in fig. 1.
Fig. 1Installation positions
5.1.3 Terminal box positions
At the bottom of the stator, closest to the pump
housing, there are three drain holes to allow
condensed water to escape. The drain holes
shall not be blocked for any reason and one
drain hole must always point downward.
There is not a drain hole directly below the
terminal box; therefore the terminal box must be
positioned in one of the positions shown in fig. 1
or fig. 2.

5.2 Changing the terminal box position
Warning
Before starting any work on this
circulator, be sure electrical supply
has been switched off and it cannot
be accidentally switched on.
If the pump is already installed in the system,
the system must be drained or the isolation
valves on both sides of the pump must be closed
and the pressure released/relieved by removing
the vent plug.
Warning
Exercise caution when draining the
system or removing the vent plug
as the fluid in the system may be
scalding hot and under pressure.
Only after the pressure has been relieved and
the pump drained should you proceed with the
next steps.
5.2.1 Rotating the terminal box
To change the position of the terminal box,
follow these steps:
1. Remove the four (5 mm) allen-head screws
holding the pump head onto the pump
housing.
2. Carefully lift/slide the pump head out and
away from the pump housing. Next rotate the
pump head and locate the terminal box in the
desired position. The terminal box can be
rotated in steps of 90 °. Review fig. 1 and
fig. 2 for possible/permissible positions.
DO NOT locate the terminal box beneath the
pump.
Use caution as the rotor assembly
can fall out of the pump head or
pump housing if the pump head is
pulled too far away from the pump
housing.
3. Make sure the O-ring is properly seated in
the pump housing.
4. Replace the pump head onto the pump
housing.
5. Diagonally tighten the 5 mm allen-head
screws evenly.
Torque to: 7 ft lbs. / 9.5 Nm.
6. Check to ensure the rotor turns freely. Do
this by removing the vent plug in the middle
of the pump nameplate. Insert a
medium-size, flat-blade screwdriver into the
slot at the exposed end of the shaft. Gently
turn the shaft. If it does not turn easily,
repeat steps 1 through 5 above. If the rotor
spins freely, proceed to step 7. Do not put
the vent plug back into the pump until the
end of step 9.
7. The position of the nameplate can be
changed by easing the outer edge of the
plate at the cutout with a screwdriver. Turn
the nameplate to the required position and
push into place.
8. Follow electrical instructions in section
5.3 Electrical connection.
9. Refill the system, open the isolation valves
and vent the system. Also allow air to vent
out of the pump; once water flows out the
vent hole, replace the vent plug removed in
step 6. See additional instructions in section
6.1 Vent the piping system.

5.3 Electrical connection
Warning
Risk of electrical shock! The
electrical connection and
protection should be carried out in
accordance with the latest edition
of the National Electrical Code,
local codes and regulations by a
qualified electrician.
The safe operation of this pump
requires that it be grounded in
accordance with the National
Electrical Code and any state, local
governing codes and regulations.
Ground wires should be copper
conductors of at least the size of
the circuit conductor supplying
power to the pump. Connect the
ground wire to the grounding point
in the terminal box and then to an
acceptable ground. Do not ground
to gas or water supply line.
All wire sizes should be copper and
size-based on the ampacity
(current carrying properties of a
conductor) as required by the
National Electrical Code or local
regulations. Additionally UL
requires the following wire sizes to
be used: 18-12 Solid or 14-12
Stranded.
Both the power and grounding
wires must be suitable for at least
194 °F (90 °C).
Proper operating voltage and other electrical
information can be found on the pump
nameplate attached to the top of the motor.
• The motor is thermally protected on all three
speeds and no additional external protection
is needed.
• See fig. 3 for proper grounding and supply
power connection locations (115 V and
208-230 V).
• The terminal connections are toggle/lever
push design. Push the lever down and insert
the field wiring. Push the lever down and pull
to remove wires.
• Next, use care when installing the terminal
box cover with speed switch. Insert the
Phillips head screw through the cover and
tighten to a snug fit.
• An external "Drip Loop" is recommended in
the electrical wiring harness; see fig. 2.
• Where an external "Drip Loop" is not
possible, or if the wiring enters through the
upward facing (top) surface of the box, then
an internal "Drip Loop" is recommended; see
fig. 3.

6. Starting the pump
6.1 Vent the piping system
After the pump has been installed and the
electrical connections made, the piping system
must be vented.
Never operate the pump dry - the
system must first be filled with
liquid and vented.
NOTE: Do not vent the piping system through
the pump. Instead, follow these steps:
1. Fill and pressurize the system with liquid,
and vent all trapped air from the piping by
suitable means.
2. If any isolation valves are used, make sure
they are OPEN.
Warning
If the vent screw/plug is to be
loosened, care should be taken to
ensure that the escaping scalding
hot liquid does not cause personal
injury or damage to components.
3. Vent the pump by removing the vent plug.
When water exists through the port, the
pump is fully vented / primed.
4. Reinstall the vent plug.
6.2 Speed selection
UPS models
Speeds can be changed via the speed switch on
the terminal box cover. Power must be turned off
before changing speeds. The speed in the three
positions appears in the following table; also see

Check that the liquid temperature falls
within the specified range. The pump will
restart automatically when it has cooled
to normal temperature.
Reduce the pump performance.
Increase the inlet pressure and/or check
the air volume in the expansion tank (if
installed).
Increase the pump performance, if
possible. Flow too fast through the
boiler/heat exchanger may not allow for
the proper BTU transfer to the fluid. If
fluid is too slow, fluid may be cooling too
much before returning from the system.
If changing speeds does not resolve the
problem, replacing the pump with a
properly sized pump may be required.

7.2 Preliminary checks
Supply voltage
To check the voltage being supplied to the
motor, use a voltmeter.
Warning
Be careful, since power is still
being supplied to the pump. Do not
touch the voltmeter leads together
while they are in contact with the
power lines.
Single-phase motors
Touch one voltmeter lead to each of the lines
supplying power to the pump as shown in fig. 11:
• L and N for 115 V and 208-230 V circuits
These tests should give a reading of full line
voltage.
Evaluation
When the motor is under load, the voltage
should be within 10 % (+ or -) of the nameplate
voltage.
Any variation larger than this may indicate a
poor electrical supply and can cause damage to
the motor windings. The motor should not be
operated under these conditions. Contact your
power supplier to correct the problem or change
the motor to one requiring the voltage you are
receiving.

1. Disconnect or TURN OFF the power supply.
2. Close any isolating valves on either side of
the pump to avoid draining the system of
liquid.
3. Remove the vent plug to relieve any system
pressure retained in the pump. Exercise
caution as the fluid may be scalding hot
and under pressure. Only after the
pressure has been relieved and the pump
drained should you proceed with the next
steps.
4. Disconnect the electrical leads from the
terminal box.
5. Disconnect and remove the conduit from the
terminal box.
6. Loosen and remove the four 5 mm
allen-head screws which connect the pump
head housing to the pump housing.
7. Remove the pump head from the pump
housing. Exercise care as the rotor may
fall out of the stator or pump housing.
8. Clean the machined surfaces in the pump
housing of any foreign material.

1. Carefully remove the new pump head
assembly from its packaging. Separate the
impeller/rotor assembly from the new pump
head.
2. While holding the thrust bearing plate,
carefully place the impeller/rotor assembly
into the pump housing. The bearing plate
should fit snugly into the lowest machined
surface in the pump housing.
3. Ensure that the impeller/rotor assembly can
rotate freely.
4. Place the O-ring over the rotor and locate it
into the inner diameter of the pump housing.
5. Carefully place the pump head housing over
the rotor and rotate it so the terminal box is
in the position you wish; see section
5.2.1 Rotating the terminal box.
6. Ensure that the pump head housing is
properly seated on the pump housing. Do not force the two together - if there is
binding, disassemble them and repeat steps
2 to 6. Cross-tighten the allen-head screws
evenly.
Torque to: 7 ft lb / 9.5 Nm.
7. Check to make sure the rotor turns freely. Do
this by removing the vent plug in the middle
of the pump nameplate. Insert a
medium-size, flat-blade screwdriver into the
slot at the exposed end of the shaft. Gently
turn the shaft. If it does not turn easily,
repeat steps 1 through 6 above. If the rotor
spins freely, proceed to step 8. Do not put
the vent plug back into the pump until the
end of step 10.
8. The position of the nameplate can be
changed by easing the outer edge of the
plate at the cutout with a screwdriver. Turn
the nameplate to the required position and
push into place.
9. Follow electrical instructions in section
5.3 Electrical connection.
10.Refill the system, open the iso lation valves
and vent the system. Also allow air to vent
out of the pump, once water flows out the
vent hole, replace the vent plug removed in
step 7. See additional instructions in section
6.1 Vent the piping system.
