4.8 Piping checklist
WARNING:
• The heating of water and other fluids causes volumetric expansion. The associated
forces can cause the failure of system components and the release of high-
temperature fluids. In order to prevent this, install properly sized and located
compression tanks and pressure-relief valves. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in serious personal injury or death, or property damage.
• Avoid serious personal injury and property damage. Make sure that the flange bolts
are adequately torqued.
NOTICE:
Never force piping to make a connection with a pump.
Check Explanation/comment Checked
Check that the suction and discharge pipes are
supported independently by use of pipe hangers near
the pump station.
This eliminates pipe strain on the pump station.
Check that there is a strong, rigid support for the
suction and discharge lines.
As a rule, ordinary wire or band hangers are not
adequate to maintain proper alignment.
Check that the suction or discharge lines are not
forced into position.
Check that fittings for absorbing expansion are
installed in the system when considerable
temperature changes are expected.
This helps to avoid strain on the pump.
Check that eccentric reducers, if used, are installed
with the flat side on top.
This eliminates air pockets.
