Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains
important instructions that should be followed during
installation, operation, and maintenance of the product.
Save this manual for future reference.
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this
symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for one of
the following signal words and be alert to the potential
for personal injury!
indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE addresses practices not related to
personalinjury.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings
in this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to the unit
are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure
or operating technique that the manufacturer does not
specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it
is safe for you and others. You must also make sure that
the procedure or operating technique that you choose
does not render the system unsafe.
To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property
damage, read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual and on equipment carefully before installing this
pump. Keep safety labels in good condition; replace if
missing or damaged.
Risk of explosion. The pump body
may explode if used to boost pressure above 100 psi
(689kPa). Do not use this pump with inlet pressure
greater than 70 psi (483 kPa). If not already in the
piping system, install a pressure relief valve in the pump
discharge line capable of passing the full pump flow at
100 psi (689 kPa). If local code requires installation of a
pressure relief valve capable of handling the full pump
flow at a pressure less than 100 psi (689 kPa), follow the
code requirements.
Risk of fire or explosion. To avoid risk of
fire and explosion, Pump Water Only with this pump. Do
not pump salt water, flammable liquids or chemicals. Do
not use the pump near gas pilot lights or where chemical
or gas fumes are present. Use of an electric pump with
liquids other than water or in an atmosphere containing
chemical or gas fumes may ignite those liquids or
gases and cause injury or death due to an explosion
and/orfire.
Burn hazard. If water is trapped in the
pump during operation it may turn to steam. Trapped
steam can lead to an explosion and burns. Never run the
pump with the outlet closed or obstructed.
California Proposition 65 Warning
This product and related accessories
contain chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Our limited warranty will not apply to any product that, in our sole judgement, has been subject to negligence, misapplication,
improper installation, or improper maintenance. Without limiting the foregoing, operating a three phase motor with single phase
power through a phase converter will void the warranty. Note also that three phase motors must be protected by three-leg,
ambient compensated, extra-quick trip overload relays of the recommended size or the warranty is void.
Your only remedy, and BERKELEY’s only duty, is that BERKELEY repair or replace defective products (at BERKELEY’s choice). You
must pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and must request warranty service through the installing
dealer as soon as a problem is discovered. No request for service will be accepted if received after the Warranty Period has
expired. This warranty is not transferable.
BERKELEY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.
THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTIES SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE DURATION
PROVIDED HEREIN.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on the duration of an
implied warranty, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You. This warranty gives You specific legal rights and
You may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
This Limited Warranty is effective June 1, 2011 and replaces all undated warranties and warranties dated before June 1, 2011.

Piping - General
Support both suction and discharge piping independently
at a point near the pump to avoid putting a strain on the
pump housing. Start all piping AT THE PUMP.
Increase pipe diameter at both the suction and discharge
by one (1) standard pipe size (minimum) to obtain
desired performance and flow rate. Refer to Table I when
sizing pipe for your pumping system.
NOTICE Do not use pipe with smaller diameter on the
suction side of pump.

Pipe Tapping Size On Pump Recommended Pipe Size
Suction Discharge Suction Discharge
1-1/4 1 1-1/2 1-1/4
1-1/2 1-1/4 2 1-1/2
Suction Pipe
Increase pipe size from pump tapping as shown in
TableI.
Figure 1 depicts a recommended run of pipe and fittings
for the suction side of a centrifugal pump. Please refer to
this illustration when choosing pipe and fittings for your
suction connection.
NOTICE All connections must be air tight!
Figure 2 depicts conditions that are NOT DESIRABLE
on the suction side of a centrifugal pump and may
cause problems in flow rate and priming. Please look
this illustration over carefully before choosing pipe and
fittings for your suction connection.
Discharge Piping
Increase pipe size from pump tapping as shown in
TableI. Figure 1 depicts a recommended run of pipe and
fittings for the discharge. Install tee with priming plug
as close to pump as possible. Figure 2 notes conditions
that should be avoided. Please read over carefully before
making discharge connection.
Priming The Pump
A pump is primed when all air in the suction line
and pump volute has been evacuated and replaced
withwater.
To Prime:
1. Close valve in discharge line.
2. Remove priming plug from tee and fill pump and
suction line with water until water is flowing back
out of tee.
3. Replace priming plug.
4. Start pump and slowly open valve until desired water
flow is achieved.
NOTICE If no water is pumped after 5 minutes, turn
off pump, close valve, and repeat steps 1 thru 4.
Risk of explosion and scalding. Never run
pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil water
inside pump, causing hazardous pressure buildup and
possible explosion.
Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury
and/or property damage. Do not run the pump dry. This
will damage mechanical seal and void warranty. It may
cause burns to person handling pump.
Risk of burns. Motor normally operates
at high temperature and will be too hot to touch. It is
protected from heat damage during operation by an
automatic internal cutoff switch. Before handling pump
or motor, stop motor and allow it to cool for 20 minutes.
