Pump Assembly Continued
Inlet Piping
Keep the inlet pipe free of high points which could trap air and could disrupt pump priming. Vac-
uum and/or pressure gages are recommended to allow measurement of pump inlet pressure.
NEVER throttle the pump on the inlet side.
Outlet Piping
The pump discharge piping should have a removable section of pipe such as a spool piece or
elbow to allow the pump to slide forward for service. Servicing the shaft seal, water bearing or
flexible coupling requires a space of approximately 30.5 cm (12 inches) minimum. The pump as
-
sembly must be free to move away from the motor in order to gain access to these components.
