Safety Information
WARNING! Electrical wiring should be performed ONLY by a licensed electrician in compliance with local, state, and national electrical code NEC/ANSI/NFPA 70,
NFPA30, and NFPA 30A, as appropriate to the intended use of the pump. Threaded rigid conduit, sealed fittings, and conductor seal should be used. The pump must
be properly grounded. Improper installation or use of this pump can result in serious bodily injury, or death!
1. NEVER smoke near the pump, or use the pump near open flames when pumping a flammable liquid! Fire can result!
2. A “Fill-Rite” Filter should be used on the pump outlet to insure no foreign material is transferred to the fuel tank.
3. Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to minimize the possibility of leaks.
4. Storage tanks should be securely anchored to prevent shifting or tipping when full or empty.
5. To minimize static electricity build up, use only static wire conductive hose when pumping flammable fluids, and keep the fill nozzle in contact with the
container being filled during the filling process.
6. The pump motor is equipped with thermal overload protection; if overheated, the motor will shut off to prevent damage to the windings. If this happens,
TURN THE PUMP OFF! When the motor cools, it will restart without warning if the power is on.
WARNING! This product should not be used to transfer fluids into any type of aircraft.
WARNING! This product is not suited for use with fluids intended for human consumption or fluids containing water.
Installation
The Fill-Rite FR300V series pump is designed to offer several different mounting configurations. It can be mounted on a skid tank using the tank adapter supplied with the pump (see
attached diagrams) or mounted on a concrete island using an optional pedestal adapter (available through your Fill-Rite distributor). Regardless of mounting style, all tanks must be
properly vented.
The FR300V series pump has a built-in check valve with pressure relief to reduce unsafe excess pressure from thermal expansion of the fluid. It also features an integral bypass valve to
help minimize wear when the pump is operating with the nozzle closed.
CAUTION! Do not use additional check valves or foot valves unless they have a proper pressure relief valve built into them. Note that additional check valves
will reduce flow rate.

CAUTION! Threaded pipe joints and connections should be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to minimize the possibility of leaks.
Installation Procedure
1. Thread the 1-1/4" pipe into the tank adapter. Seal threads liquid tight with
appropriate thread sealant.
2. Screw the tank adapter into the tank flange; seal threads liquid tight with
appropriate thread sealant.
3. Mount the pump on the adapter; seal threads liquid tight with appropriate
thread sealant.
4. Fill-Rite recommends installation of an Anti-Siphon Device. TANK ADAPTER

Typical "Pedestal / Island" Installation
Materials:
• 1-1/4" threaded suction pipe, cut to extend 32-1/2" above the island. TYPICAL PEDESTAL / ISLAND INSTALLATION
• FRPA125 Pedestal Kit (includes Pedestal Pipe, Base, & Coupler).
• Threaded pipe joint sealant appropriate for application. Additional specifications
on page 7.
Installation Procedure
1. Remove the coupler from the pedestal pipe by loosening the set screws.
2. Slip the pedestal pipe/pump base assembly over the 1-1/4" suction pipe.
3. Loosen the screws in the pedestal base to allow the pedestal pipe to slide down PEDESTAL COUPLER
exposing the end of the suction pipe.
4. Screw the coupler onto the suction pipe; seal threads liquid tight
with appropriate thread sealant.
5. Slide the pedestal pipe into the coupler and tighten the set screws.
6. Tighten the screws in the pedestal base. PEDESTAL PIPE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT

Anti-Siphon Device
Your FR300V series pump comes from the factory ready to install an anti-siphon tube back to the tank.
An anti-siphon device (a.k.a. vacuum breaker) is important because it will break a liquid siphon ANTI-SIPHON LINE
if there is an open nozzle or a leaking hose below the fluid level in the tank when the pump is turned off.
Fill-Rite recommends anti-siphon kit # KIT700AS be installed from the pump outlet back to the
vapor space in the tank.
This illustration shows where to install the tube so that it terminates in the vapor space at the top of the
tank. The tube must terminate in the vapor space; if it terminates below the fluid level in the tank, it will
not prevent siphoning. It is very important there are no liquid traps in the tubing; it must have a continuous
slope from the pump down to the tank, and can be connected into any opening in the top of the tank if the
tank adapter is not used. Use reducer bushings as required for proper fit and seal.
The ¼ NPT opening in the side of the tank adapter terminates in the vapor space of the tank. Make liquid-
tight connections using the appropriate sealant from the adapter to the anti-siphon outlet using a minimum
of 1/4 metal tubing that is compatible with whatever liquid is being pumped. If the anti-siphon tank adapter
is being used and the ¼ NPT opening is not used for the tubing, leave the factory installed plug in place.
Fill-Rite offers Anti-Siphon kit # KIT700AS (available through your Fill-Rite distributor). This kit contains
the necessary fittings and tubing to complete the installation as pictured in this section. NOTE: This kit TANK ADAPTER
ONLY works for tank top installations.
SKID TANK
If not using the KIT700AS, you will need the KIT700AVB. This will allow you to connect a line either back to
the tank, or to the bung adapter.
The nozzle boot is installed using the lower two screw holes on the side of the boot. NOZZLE BOOT
Use supplied attaching hardware to install the nozzle boot.

Electric Wiring
WARNING! Electrical wiring should be performed ONLY by a licensed electrician in compliance with local, state, and national electrical code NEC/ANSI/NFPA 70,
NFPA30, and NFPA 30A, as appropriate to the intended use of the pump. Threaded rigid conduit, sealed fittings, and conductor seal should be used. The pump
must be properly grounded. Improper installation or use of this pump can result in serious bodily injury, or death!
CAUTION! All pumps should be operated at the Rated Nameplate Voltage. Power should be supplied to the pump from a dedicated 30 amp circuit breaker.
No other equipment should be powered by this circuit. Wiring must be of sufficient size to carry the correct current for the pump. Voltage drop will vary
with distance to pump and size of wire; refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC), or local codes, for Voltage Drop Compensation to be sure you are using
the correct size wire for your application.
Wiring Procedure
WARNING! The “AUX.” wire IS A LIVE WIRE when the switch is on! The “AUX” lead wire is insulated and enclosed when shipped. DO NOT connect this wire without
first verifying the “ON” line voltage of the wire for compatibility with the equipment to be installed. Maximum amperage on this wire is 1 amp. The “AUX” wire must
be insulated and enclosed in the junction box if not used.

1. Remove the junction box cover and straighten the wires to make sure the stripped wire ends are accessible outside the junction box.
2. Connect the pump wires to the power supply lines according to the diagram. Be certain to properly insulate the connections with the appropriate wire nuts or other connectors.
Note that the ground wire MUST be connected.
3. Fold the wires back into the junction box and replace the cover, making sure the cover gasket is in place.
Use the Voltage Selector Switch on the end of the pump to select the input voltage for the pump. NOTE: The pump comes from the factory pre-set to 115V AC position.
IMPORTANT! Be certain the gasket for the cover is in place, and the screws draw the cover down tight over the junction box. There must be no gap between
the junction box and it’s cover.
