3. Components clau

The WAYNE WLS200 pump consists of several key parts that work together to provide efficient water transfer:

• Motor: The 2 HP electric motor provides the power to drive the impeller.
• Voluta: A heavy-duty cast iron casing that houses the impeller and directs water flow.
• Impulsor: A rotating component that draws water into the pump and forces it out. Made from corrosion-resistant, reinforced thermoplastic.
• Diffuser/Infuser: Works with the impeller to convert velocity energy into pressure. Made from corrosion-resistant, reinforced thermoplastic.
• Suction Port: 2-inch NPT inlet for drawing water into the pump.
• Port de descàrrega: 1-1/2-inch NPT outlet for expelling water from the pump.

4. Configuració i instal·lació

• Position the pump as close as possible to the water source to minimize suction lift.

4.2 Connexions de fontaneria

1. Línia d'aspiració: Connect a 2-inch NPT pipe to the suction port. Use rigid piping to prevent collapse under vacuum. Ensure all connections are airtight to prevent air leaks, which can cause the pump to lose prime.
2. Línia de descàrrega: Connect a 1-1/2-inch NPT pipe to the discharge port. A check valve may be installed in the discharge line to prevent backflow, especially in systems with significant elevation changes.
3. Foot Valve/Strainer: Install a foot valve with a strainer at the end of the suction line in the water source to prevent debris from entering the pump and to maintain prime.
