Use suitable supports for the suction and delivery lines so that they do not
subject the pump's flange to too much stress.
If the pump is installed with a suction lift arrangement (level of liquid lower
than the pump) and it feeds an open circuit, you will need to install a foot
valve at the end of the suction line. In this case it is advisable to use a hose
connected to the pump.
WARNING!
Make sure that the sum of the difference in height between
the water and suction port and pressure losses along the
suction line is lower than the pump's theoretical suction lift.
Water temperature and altitude also have a negative effect
on the pump's theoretical suction lift. If the sum of the vari-
EN
ous factors affecting suction lift exceeds the actual pump's
theoretical suction lift, we are faced with the cavitation
problem, which compromises hydraulic performance and
results in damage to some of the pump's vital parts. Chap.
15.4 Gives specific information on how to check that the
pump's operation is not being affected by cavitation.
