Long suction
run
High

Pipe submerged
less than 4 x "D"
will cause vortexing
Figure 2
Offset suction flange adapter
keeps suction water level
above impeller eye to aid priming.
Important:
All connections must
be air tight
Straight run, short as
possible but at least 6
times pipe diameter ("D");
slope is down going away
from pump.
Pipe diameter "D"
at least as large as
pump suction connection
Misaligned pipe causes air leaks;
high spots along the suction line
result in air pockets.
Use of excess fittings
means potential air leaks
