Pumps
3 INTENDED USE
Dometic Centrifugal Pumps are marine grade, for use with sea or nonpotable water. Major pump parts are Nickel
Aluminum Bronze (NAB) (except P035S models) for superior corrosion resistance. Specifications for each pump are available online at www.dometic.com.
Dometic Centrifugal Pumps are designed to encompass a wide range of applications and configurations. The installer determines various installation factors to fit the application, such as:
• Pump head orientation (horizontal or vertical).
• Mounting location (directly to floor plates, rails with vibration isolators to reduce noise, platforms, etc).
• Suitable mounting hardware for desired installation or use.
• Suitable piping for desired installation or use (for example: Schedule 80 PVC, CPVC, copper piping, stainless steel, flexible hose, etc.)
• Single-phase or three-phase electrical wiring.
This manual provides all necessary information for proper installation and operation of the Centrifugal Pump. Poor installation and improper operating procedures will result in unsatisfactory performance and possible failure. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage in the following cases:
• Faulty assembly or connection.
• Damage to the product resulting from mechanical influences and excess voltage.
• Alterations to the product without express permission from the manufacturer.
• Use for purposes other than those described in this manual.

➤ For optimum performance and to minimize suction lift, place the pump as close to the liquid as possible.
➤ The pump should be installed below the water line for seawater applications.
DAMAGE HAZARD: The motor is splash-resistant, not submersible. It should be located in a dry environment. Failure to do so could result in damage to the pump.
