6.4. Installation
See installation examples, par. 14 fig. 1 and 2.
The pumps must be installed with the rotor axis in the
horizontal position and with the feet under the pump.
Place the pump as close as possible to the suction
source.
Provide space around the pump for motor ventilation,
to allow for checking of shaft rota-tion, for filling and
draining the pump and to allow for collection of the
liquid to be removed.
6.4.1. Pipes
Ensure the insides of pipes are clean and unobstructed
before connection.
ATTENTION: The pipes connected to the pump
should be secured to rest clamps so that they
do not transmit stress, strain or vibrations to the
pump (par. 14 fig. 3).
Tighten the pipes or union coupling to the extent
sufficient to ensure a tight seal.
Excessive torque may cause damage to the pump.
The pipe diameters must not be smaller than the pump
connections.
6.4.2. Suction pipe
If the suction pipe is longer than 10 m, use an internal
pipe diameter larger than the pump suction connection.
For capacities over 4 m
3
/h use a suction pipe G 1 1/4
(DN 32).
The suction pipe must be perfectly airtight and be led
upwards in order to avoid air pockets.
With a pump located above the water level (suction lift
operation, par. 14. fig. 2) fit a foot valve with strainer
which must always remain immersed.
If operating with flexible hoses use a reinforced spiral
suction hose, in order to avoid the hose narrowing due
to suction vacuum.
