INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION - SECTION B

Review all SAFETY information in Section A.

Since pump installations are seldom identical, this
section offers only general recommendations and
practices required to inspect, position, and ar­
range the pump and piping.

Most of the information pertains to a standard

static lift 

application where the pump is positioned

above the free level of liquid to be pumped.

If  installed in a

 flooded suction application

 where

the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,
some of the information such as mounting, line
configuration, and priming must be tailored to the

specific application. Since the pressure supplied
to the pump is critical to performance and safety, 

be sure

 to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of the

maximum permissible operating pressure as
shown on the pump performance curve.

For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp
distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.

PREINSTALLATION INSPECTION

The pump assembly was inspected and tested be­
fore shipment from the factory.  Before installation,
inspect the pump for damage which may have oc­
curred during shipment. Check as follows:

a. Inspect the pump assembly for cracks, dents,

damaged threads, and other obvious dam­
age.

b. Check for and tighten loose attaching hard­

ware. Since gaskets tend to shrink after dry­
