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 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.

5.2.16 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

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.
