[. . . ] A self-draining system, however, allows air in the piping to rise naturally through the pump and be expelled. It also makes winterizing the system much easier. Figure 3, page 8 shows a properly plumbed system and some common mistakes. L-2448B ENGLISH 7 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Eskimo Ice Installation Manual - Remote System Figure 3: Seawater Piping Recommendations Thru-Hull Inlet Fitting A separate thru-hull fitting must be installed for each seawater pump. Do not attempt to draw water from the thru-hull fitting of an engine, generator, or other device. Install a scoop-type thru-hull fitting: 1. Drill a properly sized hole for the thru-hull fitting as far below the water line and as close to the keel as possible. Make sure the scoop of the thru-hull fitting faces the bow. Bed the scoop with marine sealant designed for underwater use, and tighten the nut onto the thru-hull to secure it. Seacock The seacock must be accessible and easy to close in case of emergency or to clean the strainer. · · · · · · Install a full-flow seacock directly onto the thru-hull fitting. Use Teflon tape or equivalent to seal the threads. Only use reinforced marine-grade hose or other suitable piping (PVC, CPVC, cupronickel, or stainless steel). Use only plastic, bronze, or stainless steel fittings (do not use brass). Make sure enough hose is used to allow for future removal of components. Use the correct size hose, fittings, and components: 5/8" seawater hose, 3/4" inlet. Note that the pump inlet piping (including thru-hull and strainer) may need to be larger than the outlet pipe size. Do not use pump connections to determine hose size. The "pump inlet" recommended pipe size includes all fittings and hose up to the pump connection (thru-hull, seacock, strainer, hose, manifold). The "pump discharge" recommended pipe size includes all fittings and hose from the pump discharge up to the overboard discharge, and should be a minimum of 5/8". L-2448B ENGLISH Seawater Piping · 8 Eskimo Ice Installation Manual - Remote System INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Strainer A seawater strainer must be installed between the seacock and the pump, and should be situated to provide easy access for cleaning. The strainer must be located vertically above the seacock and below the pump so any air that gets into the strainer can get out. Mount the strainer to a bulkhead so it is properly supported before connecting hoses. Make sure the water flow through the strainer is in the correct direction.
