STEP 1 PUMP LOCATION (General)

WARNINGS:

The pump must not be located where the static inlet pressure to the

pump is greater than permitted.

Pump Location

If possible site the pump in a location where in the unlikely event of a

water leak, any spillage is contained or routed to avoid electrics or

areas sensitive to water damage.

Care should be taken to protect pump from frost and freezing,

particularly when located in loft position.

The motor casing can become very hot under normal operating

conditions, care should be taken to ensure it cannot be touched

during operation.

The pump must be installed so that the following conditions are met:

Locate the pump in a dry, frost free position where it cannot be sprayed with water. It

should be positioned horizontally on its anti-vibration mounting feet and should not be

screwed down. It should be positioned as close to the water source as possible, having a

minimum flooded suction head of 0.5 metres at all times.

Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the arrow that is marked on the flow switch

module casing (vertically upwards).

For the pump to function correctly, it must be installed in a positive head position, a

gravity flow of approx. 0.8 litres per minute is required from the highest outlet to operate

the built-in flow switch. This is normally achieved with a static head of 100 mm from base

of header tank to highest position of the shower terminal fitting.

Before deciding where to position the unit, check to ensure the static inlet head of water

above the pump does not exceed the values given in Figs. 5, 6, 7 or 8.

Typical pump locations are in an airing cupboard, or inside a vanity unit with a small

purpose built dry and ventilated enclosure. The enclosure should have a minimum

clearance of 80 mm (3 ") between the pump and housing on all sides. The enclosure

should be secure and access should only be available by the use of tools.

The resilient anti-vibration mounting feet and flexible hoses which are supplied as

standard, are a precaution to reduce noise transmission, however care must be taken

when mounting the pump that any noise is not amplified through loose panels, pipework

or other mounting medium.

The preferred pump location is at floor level next to the hot water cylinder or a level that

is below the secondary tapping that feeds the pump. This will ensure the pump has

access to an air free water supply which is important for trouble free operation (Fig. 5 for

Twins and Fig. 6 for Singles).

Cont....

- 4 -

Least Preferred Pump Location (shaded area). Pump located above the hot cylinder

can increase the risk of air locks.

Note: If installed in loft there must be a height of 200 mm from water surface to

highest point of hot or cold inlet or outlet pipework at all times to prevent air locking.

Preferred Pump Location (shaded area). Pump at a level below draw

off tapping in cylinder.

If it is not possible to locate the pump in the preferred area due to site limitations and it

is necessary to position the unit in the loft, or in a position above the secondary tapping

that feeds the pump, then there is an increased risk of air locks. This risk must be

eliminated.

The following measures are suggestions that may overcome the problem:

1) A "U" bend or downward loop in the supply pipe to the pump of 350 mm depth before

rising to the pump, should ensure the cylinder vents its air up the expansion pipe not

up the pump feed (Fig. 7 for Twins and Fig. 8 for Singles).

2) An alternative to the above would be the installation of an automatic air vent situated

at the top of a vertical pipe run, directly connected to the pump discharge. This will

ensure any air collecting in the pump is automatically vented.

STEP 2: PIPEWORK (General)

WARNINGS:

Ensure pipework to and from pump is independently supported to

prevent forces being transferred to inlet and outlet branches of pump.

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.

Do not allow contact with oil or cellulose based paints, paint thinners

or strippers, acid based descalents or aggressive cleaning agents.

Do not allow scale or debris to enter pump. Fit inline strainers to

eliminate the problem in systems at risk.

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

Do not install a non-return valve, or devices

which contain non-return valves, in the

suction (inlet) pipework to the pump. The

pump must be free to vent to the supply

tanks at all times.

It must be ensured that the water storage capacity is sufficient to meet the flow rates

required by the pump and any other water using fittings and appliances, which may be

operated simultaneously.

As a rule of thumb: assuming a cold water temperature of 10°C and a hot water

temperature of 65°C.

A 6-minute shower using 10 litres/min will consume 40 litres of hot water and 20 litres

of cold. This means the total quantity of water used from the cold water storage tank

will be 60 litres (40 + 20).

A 10-minute shower using 15 litres/min will consume 100 litres of hot water and 50

litres of cold. This means the total quantity of water used from the cold water storage

tank will be 150 litres (100 + 50).

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.

Care should be taken in the design of pipework runs, to minimize the risk of air locks.

The pump (or pumps) should be supplied with balanced pressure hot and cold

supplies.

To prevent loss of water pressure through pipework use 22 mm pipework throughout.

Any bend requirements should be achieved by hand drawing the tube or by the use of the

appropriate bend fittings. All pipework should be securely clipped.

Isolating valves (not supplied) should be fitted in the suction and delivery pipework to

enable easy isolation and access to the pump.

When 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 both hot and cold inlets are fitted with inline

strainers, (these are not supplied with the kit).

Pipework Connections (Cold)

The pump must be supplied with a dedicated feed direct from the cold water

storage tank.

The supply must be air free and connection of the feed pipe to the tank should be via a

tank connector, positioned at a slightly lower level (25 mm minimum) than the feed pipe to

the hot water cylinder.

Pipework Connections (Hot)

When a hot water cylinder or storage tank is used, ensure the pipework size from the

cold water storage to the hot water storage is of adequate size and a minimum of 22 mm.

The pump must be supplied with a dedicated feed direct from the hot water

cylinder or storage tank.

The supply must be air free and connection to the cylinder can be made by one of the

methods shown in Fig. 9.

When the method of connection is to be made via the expansion pipe, the cold water

storage cistern should be at least 1 metre above the top of the hot water cylinder.

Pipework Connections (Connection between pump and system outlet)

This should run as far as possible in 22 mm copper tube. Pipework should only be

reduced to 15 mm copper at pump and if necessary when entering the terminal fittings.

By this method the maximum performance of the pump will be maintained.

STEP 3 PUMP CONNECTIONS (Release and connection of push-in connectors)

WARNINGS:

Do not use stainless steel, chrome or nickel plated pipe with Stuart

Turner push-in plumbing connections.

Do not introduce solder flux into the joint or surrounding area, as

plastics will be attacked and may fail.

All solder joints should be completed before final connection to push-

in connections, either on the flexible hose or the pump head. Flux

residues must be removed.

The hose connection nuts on the inlet and outlet of the pump should

not be removed.

1. Stuart Turner recommend only the use of their 15 mm flexible hoses.

The hose and pump are fitted with plastic push-in connectors, which must only be

connected with the following:

a) 15 mm diameter copper pipe to BS EN 1057 - R250 (half hard) - Table 3.

b) 15 mm plastic pipe to BS 7291 part 1 and part 2 (Table 1), or part 3 (Table 1)

plus internal support sleeve*.

* The internal bore of the plastic pipe must be supported against collapse with the

pipe manufacturers recommended support sleeve (pipe insert).

c) Appropriate plumbing fittings from the John Guest 'speedfit' push-in plumbing

fitting range.

Other manufacturers fittings are not necessarily compatible and may not provide a

water tight connection.

Ensure the pipe is free from all score marks and deformities in the area of the

insertion depth (Fig. 10) and cut the pipe square removing all burrs and sharp edges

to prevent damage to the sealing 'O'-ring.

2. Prior to inserting pipe into fitting, mark the insert depth on the wall of the pipe with a

soft pencil at a distance of 30 mm from the end to be inserted (Fig. 10).

3. Check in the mouth of the fitting that the ‘O’-ring, nylon washer and collet are in

position as shown in Fig. 11.

4. Push the pipe firmly into the fitting, until pencil mark is level with the top of the collet

and the pipe stop resistance is felt. Pull on the pipe to check it is secure and

correctly fitted.

5. To release the joint, push pipe firmly into the fitting, hold the collet down and gently

remove pipe. If the system has been filled with water care should be taken to isolate

the pump and towels used to absorb spilled water.

If you have any concern either about using push-in fittings or should the joint leak on

final test, isolate the water supplies and contact the Service Department on 01491

572655.

STEP 4 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

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

current national electrical regulations and installed by a competent

person.

In the interests of electrical safety a 30 mA residual current device

(R.C.D.) should be installed in the supply circuit. This may be part of

a consumer unit or a separate unit.

Before starting work on the electrical installation ensure the power

supply is isolated.

This applicance 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.

The motor fitted to this pump is suitable for a 230/1/50Hz supply. It is thermally

protected by an integral auto resetting thermotrip for your safety and rated for the duty

listed in the technical specification section.

Electrical Connection

The motor is provided with a factory fitted supply cord. This must be permanently

connected to the fixed wiring of the mains supply. Means for disconnection must be

incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

A suitable method of connection would be via a double pole switched, fused connection

unit complying with BS 1363-4, protected with a 5 Amp fuse.

The connection unit should be mounted in an easily accessible position and should be

labelled if confusion is possible, to allow easy identification of the pump isolating switch.

Earthing

This appliance must be earthed via the supply cord, which must be correctly connected

to the earth point located in the terminal box.

Copper or metallic pipework must have supplementary earth bonding where the

continuity has been broken by flexible hoses or plastic components. Adjacent suction and

delivery pipes should be fitted with earthing clamps to BS 951 and connected with

earthing wire size 4 mm² (Fig. 14). A standard kit is available from Stuart Turner (Part No.

17044).

Certain installations may require additional earthing arrangements such as equipotential

bonding. Reference should be made to the relevant regulations concerning this subject to

ensure compliance.
