INSTALLATION
PIPING
The pump volute is equipped with a standard NPT
tapped discharge connection. Either hose or rigid
pipe may be used for the discharge connection.
For maximum pumping capacity, use non-collaps-
ible hose or rigid piping, and keep the discharge as
short and straight as possible. If rigid piping is
used, minimize the use of elbows and fittings which
increase friction losses and reduce pump perform-
ance.
A check valve or throttling valve may be installed in
the discharge line to control siphoning or back flow
when the pump is shut off.
