Figure 10
e-80 pumps have a four bolt circle on the bottom of the
volute to accept an ANSI/ASME flange that can be used
with a connected pipe as a temporary pump support
while the permanent pump piping or pump supports are
being fitted to the pump. This support can only be used
to handle the pump weight as it is not suitable to resist
loads in other directions. See Figure 10: on page 15
For installations in grooved piping systems when the pump is supported by the piping,
flange locking type grooved piping connections are required to prevent the pump from
rotating in the piping.
