FOUNDATION:

Refer to illustration on page 5.
Heavy weights; risk of crushing toes or
feet. Use care and proper lifting equipment
when handling pump for installation. Size and weight of
some units will require hoists for safe handling.
Pump should be set on a concrete foundation which is
sufficiently substantial to absorb vibration and which
provides a permanent and rigid support.
When properly positioned, the unit will be level, and
the suction and discharge openings of the pump will be
aligned with system piping.
PIPING:
System piping should be at least one commercial pipe
size larger than pump connections and flow velocity
should not exceed eight (8) feet per second. Suction
and discharge pipes must be naturally aligned with
pump connections.
NOTICE: Misalignment of piping with pump case or
excessive pipe strain can cause distortion of pump
components resulting in rubbing, breakage and reduced
pump life.
Insure that piping is supported in a manner that prevents
the exertion of force on pump connections. This can be
checked by the following procedure. With the pump shut
down, remove pipe flange bolts. If the mating flanges
come apart or shift, misalignment is present and causing
pressure on the connections. Adjust pipe supports until
flanges mate without any force. This procedure can be

SUCTION PIPING:
Refer to illustrations on Page 8 through Page 11 for
recommended and not recommended practices in
suction connections.
DISCHARGE PIPING:
Refer to illustrations on Pages 12 and 13 for recom-

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
If electric motor is used.
NOTE: All wiring should be done by a qualified
electrician.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn,
or cause death. Disconnect power to pump before
servicing.
Check voltage and phase stamped on pump motor
nameplate before making wiring connections to
electrical system. Be sure they agree with your electric
current supply. They MUST be the same. If in doubt,
check with your local power company.
Refer to illustration on Page 14 for minimum
recommended pumping panel components that help
safeguard your pump during operation.
