Flojet G70 question

Pour-Decisions

Grabbing a FloJet G70 for transferring GNS, curious as to your setup. I'll mount the pump onto a portable base along with a pressure regulator similar to this. Love the quick connects and will do the same. On the input side do you guys just hang the tubing into the tote or do you use some type of wand or strainer at the end? How about on the output side, do you like to use something like a gas nozzle or other shutoff valve to control flow etc?

Just a note that mounting the G57 or G70 horizontally as pictured here may work, but is not ideal unless the pump is primed with liquid flowing freely to the inlet. If mounted horizontally, the pump may air lock and stall out if air reaches the inlet.
On the inlet side, we recommend using the strainer. If not the flojet one, any 40-mesh strainer. This is just to prevent solids from entering the check valves, which will knock the pump out of commission pretty quickly.

Thanks for the reminder, I do plan to mount it vertically. I'll look into some type of inline strainer as well.
