Installation in pipe systems
•
The pump may be installed in an upright, horizontal, vertical or suspended position
Fig.
"Installation variants".
With a horizontal installation, the inlet must be at the bottom and the outlet at the top.
•
When installing the pump, ensure that there is easy access for maintenance work. If the screw plugs
for draining the gear oil and buffer or quenching fluid are not easy to reach, discharge lines may be
used (part nos. PBT.013 and/or PBT.014).
•
Ensure that the pump is installed tension-free and that no tension can develop during operation either.
