INSTALLATION OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP - NVT SERIES
Ref. No. NVT-IOM/2020/V.01
Install piping as straight as possible, avoiding unnecessary bends. Where necessary use
45
° or long sweep
90
° bends to
decrease friction losses.
Make sure that all piping joints are airtight. Where increasers are used in discharge line it should be concentric type.
Failure to comply with this may adversely affect the performance of the pump by causing the formation of air pockets
in the pipe work.
Piping should be flushed clean before connecting to the pump.
