DAB ESYDOCK MAX Single Base for One Commercial Booster
The ESYDOCK MAX is the hydraulic docking base DAB builds for its ESYBOX MAX booster pumps, and this version holds a single unit. All suction and discharge piping connects to the dock through 2 in NPT ports. Those ports can sit on either side, or both on the same side, so the base drops into an existing header without extra bends. The pump unit seats on top and seals to the dock, leaving the pipework undisturbed when it comes off. The dock alone measures about 9.1 x 15 x 15 in and weighs roughly 19.8 lb. With a pump installed, the assembly stands about 30.3 in tall. The non-return valve and expansion vessel live in the pump unit, so the dock stays a plain hydraulic base. ESYBOX MAX pumps can run in groups of up to 4 units, joined with DAB's linking hardware as demand grows. That makes the single base a sensible starting point for a site that expects to add capacity later.
Setting Up an ESYBOX MAX Docking Station in the Pump Room
Install the base first, plumb it and pressure-test the lines with the ports capped. Fit isolation valves on both the suction and discharge sides, so the pump can come out without draining the header. Bolt the dock to a level, solid pad near the source tank, leaving headroom to lift the pump on and off. Flexible couplings between the dock and rigid pipe stop pump vibration from reaching the rest of the plumbing. Once the pump is seated, setup follows the normal ESYBOX MAX routine. Seasonal greenhouses can lift the pump out before winter and drain the base completely. A spare pump can also go in fast if the duty unit ever needs a repair. Keep the inlet supply within the pump's rated limits, because the dock does not regulate pressure. This base suits the ESYBOX MAX line only, not the E.SYBOX or E.SYBOX Mini 3. Plan its location with the final pump count in mind, since grouped units sit side by side.
Key Features
- 2 in NPT connections: Large ports match commercial headers and keep friction losses low at high flow.
- Side-selectable piping: Suction and discharge can sit on either side or the same side, which fits most pump-room layouts.
- Remove the pump, keep the plumbing: The pump lifts off the base for service or winter storage without cutting a single line.
- Plain hydraulic base: Valves and the expansion vessel stay in the pump, so the dock has nothing inside to service.
- Room to grow: ESYBOX MAX units group up to four, so a single base can be the start of a larger booster set.
