APPLICATION

The range of peripheral pumps is designed to pump clean fresh water. Other clean, non
aggressive, non explosive liquids with similar characteristics to water may be pumped.
Consult Stuart Turner for such applications.

The pumps can be used for pressure boosting, fluid transfer and distribution. They are
suitable for flooded suction applications. Alternatively a maximum suction lift of

4.6 metres is permitted when using a Stuart footvalve/strainer.

WARNING AGAINST MISUSE

 This pump set must not be used for any other application without the

written consent of Stuart Turner Limited. In particular, it must not be
connected directly to the mains water supply, or used outside the
conditions specified in the limits of application.

 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

SITING OF THE PUMP/PIPEWORK

WARNINGS:

 Pump Location

If possible site the pump in a location where in the unlikely event of a
liquid leak, any spillage is contained or routed to avoid electrics or
areas sensitive to liquid damage.

 Care should be taken to protect the pump from frost and freezing.
 Ensure pipework to and from pump is independently supported to

prevent stress on the pump inlet and outlet branches.

 Do not fit a non-return valve, or devices which contain non-return

valves, in the suction (inlet) pipework to the pump. Exceptions can
be made in the case of suction lift installations when a footvalve is
required.

 When a footvalve is required on installations that incorporate

automatic pump control, it is recommended that a suitable pressure
relief valve be fitted in the discharge (outlet) pipework from the pump.

 Do not run against a closed valve for periods longer than 5 minutes.
 Do not allow plastic pump parts to come into contact with oil or

cellulose based paints, paint thinners or strippers, acid based
descalents or aggressive cleaning agents.

 Do not introduce solder flux to pumps or pump parts manufactured

from plastic. All solder joints should be completed and flux residues
removed prior to pump connection.

 The motor casing can become very hot under normal operating

conditions. Care should be taken to ensure it cannot be touched
during operation.

 Always install isolating valves to both suction and delivery pipework.

Site the pump in a horizontal, dry, frost-free position where it cannot be sprayed with
water and as close to the liquid source as possible.

The pump enclosure must be ventilated and there should be a minimum clearance of
80 mm between the pump and housing on all sides.

To prevent loss of pressure through pipework, use pipe size to match pump whenever
possible, minimising 90° bends.

It must be ensured that storage capacity of the liquid supply is adequate for the flow
rates required by the pump.

The pipework feeds to the storage tank should be of adequate size to ensure
replenishment rate of tank is sufficient to meet the needs of the pump.

Isolating valves should be fitted in suction and delivery pipework to enable easy isolation
and access to the pump.

When the pump is to be installed in areas where there is a risk of debris or scale build up
within the system, it is recommended that the inlet pipework is fitted with an inline strainer.

Pump Mounted Above Liquid Source (Suction Lift)

The pumps can be used in a suction lift installation providing the height of lift is within the
limits specified in the limits of application section.

A footvalve and strainer must always be used and the suction pipework size should be
22 mm throughout.

Lay the suction piping over the shortest possible distance and ensure there is a constant
rise from the liquid source to the pump. Any high spots will cause air pockets to form,
reducing system efficiency.

Ensure all joints in suction pipework are completely airtight. Failure to comply will result
in loss of prime.

The intake of the footvalve/strainer should be positioned such that is cannot be blocked
with debris or silt that are frequently found in the bottom of sumps and wells.

When a footvalve is installed on installations that incorporate automatic pump control,
it is recommended that a suitable pressure relief valve be fitted in the discharge (outlet)
pipework from the pump.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

WARNINGS:

 The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the

current national electrical regulations by a competent person.

 Before starting work on the electrical installation ensure the power

supply is isolated.

 Where any of the pumps are installed in an area where there is a risk

of water spillage it is recommended that a residual current circuit
breaker having a rated current not exceeding 30 mA, be installed in
the supply circuit. This may be part of a consumer unit or a separate
unit.

 This appliance must be earthed.
 The motor and wiring must not be exposed to water.
 Do not allow the supply cord to contact hot surfaces, including the

motor shell, pump body or pipework. The cord should be safely
routed and secured by cable clips.
