Stationary dry installation

The pump is dry-installed and the suction and discharge pipes are permanently connected. The pump primes the fluid from the tank and pumps it into the discharge line. Obey these points for installation:

• Fasten the pump on the bottom.
• Seal the pipe connections with Teflon band.
• Discharge pipe:
• Make sure that the discharge line is self-supporting and not supported by the pump.
• The diameter of the discharge line is the same or larger than the diameter of the discharge port.
• Make sure that the discharge line is installed frost-proof.
• Do not install the discharge line above or near the motor. The motor is not submersible or watertight. Water ingress (condensation water, leakage) leads to a total loss of the motor.
• Install all necessary fittings according to the local regulations (gate valve, non-return valve).
• Suction pipe:
• To prevent air bubbles in the suction pipe, install the suction pipe with a 2 % slope in the direction of the tank/basin.
• If possible, use a solid pipe for the suction pipe.
• Keep the suction pipe as short as possible.
• The diameter of the suction pipe is the same or larger than the diameter of the suction port. A decrease in the suction pipe leads to pressure losses or overloading of the pump.
• To prevent clogging of the suction pipe, install a suction filter.
• Only Drain LPC 40: install a foot valve.
• The Drain LPC 50 and LPC 80 have an integrated non-return valve in the suction port.
