Xylem 2000 Series Frame Mounted Pumps AC8652 REV.C - Manual (Page 5)

PUMP LOCATION
Locate the pump so there is sufficient room for
inspection, maintenance, and service. If the use of
a hoist or tackle is needed, allow ample head
room.
WARNING
Eyebolts or lifting lugs if provided are for
lifting only the components to which they are
attached. Failure to follow instructions could result
in injury or death.
If lifting of the entire pump is required, do so with
slings placed as shown. (Fig. 2 & 3)
The best pump location for sound and vibration
absorption is on a concrete floor with subsoil
underneath. If the pump location is overhead,
special precautions should be undertaken to
reduce possible sound transmission, consult a
sound specialist.
If the pump is not on a closed system, it should be
placed as near as possible to the source of the
liquid supply, and located to permit installation with
the fewest number of bends or elbows in the
suction pipe.
The installation must be evaluated to determine
that the Net Positive Suction Head Available
(NPSHA) meets or exceeds the Net Positive
Suction Head Required (NPSHR), as stated by the
pump performance curve.
IMPORTANT: Do not install and operate Series
2000 Pumps in closed systems unless the system
is constructed with properly sized safety devices
and control devices. Such devices include the use
of properly sized and located pressure relief
valves, compression tanks, pressure controls,
temperature controls, and flow controls as
appropriate. If the system does not include these
devices, consult the responsible engineer or
architect before making pumps operational.
