EQUIPMENT SELECTION
The procedure for teaming-up a 77490 Adapter with the appropriate motor
and Pump Head is very straightforward:
(1) Verify Required Flow Rates
Table 1 shows maximum flow rates for individual 77490 Adapters and
standard tubings.
Use only MASTERFLEX®Precision tubing with MASTERFLEX
Pumps to ensure optimum performance. Use of other tubing may
void applicable warranties.
Be sure the Adapter to be installed will accommodate the intended range
of pumping applications.
Table 1
*These speeds may be increased slightly under light loads, i.e., low pressure pumping with
silicone or C-FLEX tubing.
(2) Select Motor
Table 1 also shows motor speed capacities for individual Adapters.
Besides having a NEMA 56C mounting face, the motor to be used must
not exceed the speeds indicated.
For general guidance in determining motor size, 1/5 horsepower is
required to pump water at 2 GPM through a single I/P®73 MASTERFLEX
tube at 30 psig (0 psig, for two I/P®73 tubes). In no case will a motor hp
greater than 1/2 be required for the Pump Heads compatible with the
Series 77490 Adapters.
Note: Tubing numbers shown refer to the last two digits of the tubing
catalog number. For example, silicone tubing catalog number is 96410-73
,
thus the tubing number in this manual is referred to as simply I/P®73.
Table 2 shows the volume per pump revolution for specific tubing numbers.
Use Tables 1 and 2 as a guide in selecting the proper tubing for the
required flow rate.

(3) Mount the Gasket
■ Place the GASKET over the 56C motor face, as shown in the
drawing.
(4) Mount the Adapter Housing
■ To minimize noise and maximize planetary gear longevity, the
optimum procedure recommended for assembly of the Adapter
Housing to the 56C Motor Housing is to set up vertically (motor
shaft up) per installation sketch on previous page.
■ Align the flat on the SHAFT ADAPTER with the mating “D” hole in
the GEAR mechanism.
■ Maintain the above alignment and carefully place the Adapter
flange against the face of the 56C motor housing.
■ It may be necessary to turn the Adapter to obtain the proper Pump
Head orientation. This is necessary because the tubing in the I/P
Standard Pump Heads exits from the top, and tubing in the I/P
EASY-LOAD exits from the side. Also, be sure to allow adequate
space for operation of the tube loading lever on the EASY-LOAD
pumps.
(5) Install Adapter Bolts
■
With all the components properly aligned, use the four 3/8 in BOLTS
provided to secure the Adapter assembly to the motor.
■ Use the proper procedure for tightening the four bolt flange, i.e.,
number the BOLTS 1 thru 4 in a CW or CCW direction. Tighten
gradually and alternately 1 & 3 then 2 & 4. Final torque to be
16.5/19.5 (ft-lb). If feasible, (while in this position) run or jog motor
slowly and listen for any objectionable gear noise. If noisy, loosen
bolts, turn adapter shaft or slowly jog motor, then retighten bolts as
above.
The last step is installation of the Pump Head to the PUMP HEAD
MOUNTING PLATE. Refer to instructions furnished with the Pump Head.
For maximum life, install the pump housing using the two 1.0 inch cap
head screws supplied with the pump.
MAINTENANCE
While there are no serviceable parts, replaceable parts include the SHAFT
ADAPTER (No. A-3870) and the GASKET (No. A-3871), available through
your dealer.
