Description
1.
Pipe support: Support piping system properly to avoid stresses on connections.
2.
On-off valves: Install on-off valves for easy access- before the pump intake and after
the pump discharge.
3.
Use flexible piping on both inlet and outlet sides of the pump to reduce vibration and transmission of
noise.
4.
Check valves will prevent return flow of pumped liquid when pump is stopped, reducing the danger of
pump damage.
5.
Control Panel: Use high quality components. Make sure that the panel conforms to local standards
and regulations.
6.
Do not place elbows next to the pump inlet and discharge.
7.
If pump needs to be operated with on-off valve closed, install a by-pass line to avoid damaging the
pumping system.
