Page 8 F00633 Suction Connection Installation Suction Lift Short length of straight pipe after reducer. ( 2 times pipe diameter minimum ) Suction Gauge Straight run, short as possible but at least 6 times pipe diameter ("D") after elbow to stabilize flow.
F00633 Page 9 Suction Connection Installation Suction Lift Do not use Concentric Reducer. Concentric Reducer causes high spots along the suction line resulting in air pockets. Do not install valves in suction line. Long run not recommended Unsupported pipe causes excessive stress on pump and fittings.
Page 10 F00633 Suction Connection Installation When Flooded Suction Exists Recommended See foundation section. Pump driven by remote power source, direct coupling or pulley/belt connection. 2214 0196 Water under pressure Support pipe as required Short run of straight pipe after reducer (2 times pipe diameter).
F00633 Page 11 Suction Connection Installation When Flooded Suction Exists Not Recommended 2215 0196 Water under pressure Inverted Eccentric Reducer may result in air pocket. Do not leave valve partially closed. Check Valve in suction pipe not needed.
Page 12 F00633 Discharge Connection Installation Use Concentric Reducer to mimimize friction losses. Isolation Valve Support piping as required Non-Slam or spring loaded check valve. Isolation valve to permit servicing of check valve or pump. Align piping to minimize flange stress.
F00633 Page 13 Discharge Connection Installation Do not use Gate Valve to throttle flow. Avoid abrupt change in pipe size. Avoid undersized pipe diameter. Do not force alignment that can cause flange stresses. Do not leave pipe unsupported. Avoid check valves that may cause hydraulic shock.
Page 14 F00633 CHECK ROT A TION: Before pump is put into operation, rotational direction must be checked to assure proper performance of pump. Refer to illustration below to varify proper rotational direction for each model covered in this manual. Hazardous voltage.
F00633 Page 15 LUBRICA TION: LIQUID END of pump requires no lubrication. Wear rings, packing rings, and models using a mechanical shaft seal, are lubricated by the liquid being pumped. Do not run dry! BEARING FRAME - add approximately 2 ounces of a lithium-based NGLI No.
