MOUNTING
• The 8000 series pumps are self priming. Horizontal and vertical
prime vary depending on the fluid viscosity and pump
configuration. Refer to the pumps Product Data Sheet.
• The pump should be located in an area that is dry and provides
adequate ventilation. If mounted within an enclosure, provisions
to cool the motor may be necessary. Heat sinks which attach to
the motor are available from SHURflo if increased heat
dissipation is necessary.
CAUTION: DO NOT locate the motor near low temperature plastics
or combustible material. The surface temperature of the motor
may exceed *250°F [120°C].
• The pump may be mounted in any position. However, if
mounting the pump vertically the pump head should be in the
down position so that in the unlikely event of a leak, fluid will not
enter the motor.
• Secure the rubber feet with
#
8 hardware. DO NOT compress the
feet, doing so will reduce their ability to isolate vibration/noise.
PLUMBING
• Use flexible high pressure tubing compatible with the fluid to connect the
inlet/outlet ports. Tubing should be either 3/8" or 1/2" [10 or 13 mm] I.D., and at
least 18 in. [46 cm] length is suggested to minimize stress on
the fitting/ports and reduce noise. Allow for the shortest possible
tubing route and avoid sharp bends that may kink over time.
• Installation of a 50 mesh strainer is recommended to prevent
foreign debris from entering the system. Failures due to foreign
debris is not covered under the limited warranty.
NOTE: Restrictions on the inlet may cause vacuum levels to reach
the fluid vapor pressure, causing cavitation, degassing,
