INSTALLATION
4.1 Installation
For what concerns pump handling at the installation site, please refer to section 2.1 .
The pump/motor group, coupled on a single steel-sections baseplate, must be properly fastened to its
concrete slab in which the foundation bolts have been previously bedded.
The group should be installed on a levelled plane. To this purpose, check levelling when anchoring the group
baseplate to the concrete slab by placing a level (bubble tube) on the pump delivery flange (see side
pictures).
PIPINGS
We recommend to support adequately the pipings to avoid any kind of stress to the pump suction and
delivery nozzles, with resulting difficulties to proper pump operation.
Pipe dimensions should not be determined according to the pumps nozzles diameters, but only according to
friction losses. Avoid narrow bends and elbows, and conical joints wrongly placed.
The suction pipe should be absolutely airtight, without counterslopes where harmful air bubbles can collect.
We recommend the use of gate valves upstream and downstream the pump. Leave enough space for motor
ventilation.
