Pos Description
1 Pipe support: Support piping system properly to avoid stresses on connections.
2 On-off valves: Install on-off valves for easy Access- before the pump intake and after the pump
discharge.
3 Use flexible piping on both input and output sides of the pump to reduce vibration and transmission
of noise.
4 Check valves will prevent return flow of pumped liquid when pum pis stopped, reducing the danger
of pump damage.
5 Control Panel: Use high quality components. Make sure that the panel conforms to local standards
and regulations.
6 Do not place elbows next to the pump intake and discharge.
7 If pump needs to be operated with on-off valve closed, install a by-pass line to avoid damaging the
pumping system.

8 If it is necessary to increase the diameter of the suction pipe, place an eccentric reducer between the
check valve and the flexible pipe section.
9 Using elbows will increase the flow resistance. Wide bends will result in lesser flow
resistance.
10 The piping must have a level or positive gradient to prevent the formation of air pockets.
11 The diameter of the drop pipe must be bigger than the diameter of the pumps suction port.
12 Use a foot valve in case of negative suction head.
13 Size pump for correct head.
14 Place the intake of the suction pipe so that the intake is always submerged to prevent
entry of air.
15 Install a compound gauge at the pump suction and a pressure gauge at the pump discharge.
