TP55. InstallationMechanical installationTP pumps can be installed in horizontal and verticalpipes.Note: The motor must never point downwards.The pumps must be installed in such a way that strainfrom the pipework is not transferred to the pumphousing.The pump may be suspended direct in the pipes,provided the pipework can support the pump. If not,the pump must be installed on a mounting bracket orbase plate.Position within piping systemDo not mount the pump at the highest or lowest pointin the piping system.If the pump is installed at the highest point in the pipingsystem, it may experience reduced performance andincreased noise due to air trapped in the pump.If the pump is located at the lowest point in the pipingsystem, the dirt and sediment in the system maycollect inside the pump, causing premature wear to theshaft seal.InstallationSpace requirementsFor inspection and motor/pump head removal a 12"(300 mm) clearance above the motor is required.300 12 inches mmTM00 9242 3495Fig. 5Space requirementsLocation of installationThe pump should be installed in a dry, well-ventilatedarea which is not subject to freezing or large variationsin temperature.The pump should never be mounted within six inchesof any obstruction or hot surface.Pumps to be installed outdoors or in a dustyenvironment should be ordered with atotally-enclosed-fan-cooled motor (TEFC) attached toprevent motor failure.9
