5.2.6 For installation of water motor gong mark the through-wall locations for the
centerlines of the Sleeve and Drain Outlet. The Drain Outlet must be located at least 10 inches
(250mm)

5.2.7 Make 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) diameter holes straight through the wall at both locations.

5.2.8 Cut the non-threaded end of the Sleeve to a length equal to that of the wall thickness
plus 0 to 1/8 inch (0 to 3 mm). Thread the cut end to ¾ inch NPT per ANSI B1.20.1.

5.2.9 Install the alarm line piping up to and including the union half. Use thread sealant
sparingly on male threads only.

5.2.10 Prior to initiating installation of the Water Motor Alarm, mount the Drain Trim (less the
Wall Plate and 45° Elbow), as well as the balance of alarm line piping (including other union
half) to the Water Motor.

5.2.11 Tighten the NPT threaded end of the Sleeve into the Body hand tight plus 1/8 turn.

5.2.12 Slip the Support Washer over the Sleeve and place the assembly in position against
the wall.

5.2.13 Tighten the 3/4 inch Union. Install the Wall Plate and tighten the 45° Elbow.

5.2.14 Apply pressure against the outside edge of the Water Motor Body and verify
that the Body and Support

5.2.15 Washer sit square against the wall. If not, adjust the alarm line and/or drain piping to
suit.

5.2.16 From the outside wall, insert the Drive Shaft through the Sleeve and fully insert it into
the Impeller. (When fully inserted, the Shaft should protrude beyond the face of the wall by
approximately 20" minus 2" minus wall thickness.) Mark the Drive Shaft at a point of
approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch inside the face of the wall; remove the Shaft; cut the Shaft where
previously marked; file off burrs from the cut end of the Drive Shaft; and, re-insert the Drive
Shaft through the Sleeve and fully insert it into the Impeller.

5.2.17 Hold the Gong Mount in position against the wall, engage the Coupling with
the Drive Shaft and then carefully thread the Striker Shaft Bearing onto the Sleeve. Securely
tighten the Striker Shaft Bearing using a pair of channel locks on the 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) hex
end.

5.2.18 Spin the Striker by hand and verify that it spins freely (without any sign of binding). If

5.2.20 After installation, the alarm check valve must be tested in accordance with
the recognized installation standards. If a thread leak occurs or the groove joints leak, normally
the unit must be removed and the joints should be done again. This is due to the fact that
when the joint seal leaks, the sealing compound or tape is washed out of the joint or the
groove of the pipe might more or the groove fittings gasket might be damaged.

5.2.21 Ensure the alarm check valve is installed as per the procedure and the trim
connections are installed as per the trim chart.

5.2.22 Verify that all system components are rated for the water working pressure of the
system.
