Unsupported
Pipe
Misaligned pipe causes
air leaks;
high spots along the suction line
result in
air pockets.
Offset suction flange adapter
keeps suction water level
above impeller eye to aid priming.
Use of excess fittings
means potential
air leaks
Straight run, short as
possible but at least 6
times pipe diameter ("D");
slope is
down going away
from pump.

a priming tee.
On the discharge
avoid:
Quick closing valves.
