Installation

Instructions

BRUTEII

Model UP15-42F

Maintenance-Free

Circulators

1. Shipment Inspection

Examine the components carefully to make sure no

damage has occurred to the pump during shipment. Care

should be taken to ensure the pump is NOT dropped or

mishandled; dropping will damage the pump.

Pre-lnstallation

2. Checklist

Before beginning Installation procedures, the

following checks should be made. They are all

important for proper installation of the circulator

pump.

1. Uses:

Model UP15-42F pumps have cast iron volutes and are

recommended for closed hydronic systems (i.e.; airless,

non-potable water). They are designed to circulate water

from 50°F to 230°F up to a maximum pressure of 145

psi. If required, a 50% by volume solution of ethylene or

propylene glycol and water can be used. However, a

decrease in pump performance may result due to the

higher viscosity of the solution as compared to water.

Check with the manufacturer for information regarding

the suitability of pumping other fluids.

2. Maximum Water Temperature:

The maximum allowable water temperature is determined

by the ambient or surrounding air temperature as shown

in Table 2A.

Table 2A - Maximum Water Temperature

Ambient (°F) 104 120 140 160 175

Water (°F) 230 220 210 190 175

3. Inlet Pressure Requirements

The amount of pressure required at the inlet of the pump

is a function of the temperature of the water as shown in

Table 2B.

Table 2B - Inlet Pressure Requirements

Water (°F) 190 165 140

Required Inlet Pressure (ft.) 5 4.5 3

PageI(psi) 2.2 1.9 1.3

In a closed, pressurized system, the required inlet

pressure is the minimum allowable system pressure.

3. Installation

Position of terminal box:

Proper installation of the pump will have the terminal box

located to one side of the pump or the other, with the

conduit entry down (see Figure 3A).

If the terminal box position needs to be changed, it is

best to do so before installation. However, if the pump is

already installed, ensure that the electrical supply is

turned off and close the isolation valves before removing

the Allen screws.

change terminal box position:

Remove the four (4) Allen screws (4mm) while

supporting the stator (motor),

Carefully separate the stator from the pump chamber

and rotate it to the correct terminal box orientation.

Replace the Allen screws and tighten diagonally and

evenly (7 ft.-lb, torque).

Check that the impeller turns freely. If the impeller

does not turn easily, repeat the disassembly/

reassembly process.

Installation Requirements

1. Thoroughly clean and flush the system prior to pump

installation,

2. Do not install the pump at the lowest point of the

system where dirt and sediment naturally collect.

3. Install an air vent at the high point(s) of the system

to remove accumulated air.

4. Ensure that water does not enter the terminal box

during the installation process.

5. Install a safety relief valve to protect against

temperature and pressure build-up.

6. If there are excassive suspended particles in the water,

it is recommended that a strainer and/or filter be

installed on the inlet side of the pump and cleaned

regularly.

Pump Mounting: For Indoor Use

Arrows on the side of the pump volute indicate direction

of flow through the pump. Grundfos circulators can be

installed in both vertical and horizontal lines. The pump

must be installed with the motor shaft positioned

horizontally. Under no circumstances should the pump

be installed with the shaft vertical or where the shaft falls

below the horizontal plane (see Figure 3B).

It is recommended that isolation valves be installed on

each side of the pump. If possible, do not install elbows,

branch tees, or other flow-changing fittings just before or

after the pump. Provide support to the pump or adjacent

plumbing to reduce thermal and mechanical stress on

the pump.

Electrical

All electrical work should be performed by a qualified

electrician in accordance with the latest edition of the

National Electrical Code, local codes and regulations.

Warning:

The safe operation of this pump requires that it be

grounded in accordance with the National Electrical

Code and local governing codes or regulations. The

ground wires should be copper conductorof at least the

!size ofthe circuitconductorsupplyingpower to the pump.

Minimum ground wire size is 14 AWG. Connect the

ground wire to the grounding point in the terminal box

and then to an acceptable ground. Do not groundto a

igas supply line.

Page 3

The proper operating voltage and other electrical

information can be found on the nameplate attached to

the top of the motor. The motor is impedance protected

and does not require additional external protection. The

temperature of the windings will never exceed allowable

limits, even if the rotor is locked.

Wire size should be based on the ampacity (current

carrying properties of a conductor) as required by the

latest edition of the National Electrical Code or local

regulations. Both the power and grounding wires must

be suitable for at least 194°F (90°C).

Wire the hot lead to terminal "L," neutral wire to terminal "IV,"and

ground to the grounding terminal. For 230 volt pumps, the two hot

leads should be to "L"and "IV"and the ground to the grounding

terminal.

Start-Up

Do not start the pump until the system has been filled.

Completely vent the system prior to starting the pump,

Never operate the pump dry.

4. Operation

GRUNDFOS domestic circulator pumps, installed properly

and sized for correct performance, will operate quietly

and efficiently and provide years of service.

Under no circumstances should the pump be operated

without water circulation or without the minimum required

inlet pressure for prolonged periods of time. This could

result in motor and pump damage.
