CHECK VALVE INSTALLATION
The NRF/NBF-25 pump discharge nozzle is machined to
accept check valve P/N P86596. If a check valve is required
for the installation, insert the O-ring end of P86596 into the
discharge port of the pump body and hand press the check
valve body into place until it snaps in position.
SYSTEM PREPARATION
Prior to pump start-up, closed heating and cooling systems
should be cleaned, drained, and refilled with clean water. The
system fluid pH must be maintained between 7 and 9.
START-UP
Do not start pump until the system has been filled and vented.
Air should be vented from the system by means of an air vent
located at a high point in the system. The system must be
completely vented prior to pump operation. Do not run NRF/
NBF circulators dry. Pump operation without water circulation
could result in pump and motor damage.
PERIODIC INSPECTION
Bell & Gossett NRF/NBF Circulators are designed to provide
years of trouble free service. It is recommended that periodic
inspections be made to check for potential problems with the
pump. If any leakage or evidence of leakage is present, repair
or replace the unit.
WARNING: HOT WATER LEAKAGE HAZARD
Pressurize the body slowly while checking for leaks at
all joints with gaskets or solder connections. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in serious personal injury
and/or property damage.
