Explanation/comment

Checked

Check that there is a strong, rigid support for the

suction and discharge lines.

As a rule, ordinary wire or band hangers are not

adequate to maintain proper alignment.

Check that the suction or discharge lines are not

forced into position.

Component failure will result if suction or

discharge lines are forced into position.

Check that fittings for absorbing expansion are

installed in the system when considerable

temperature changes are expected.

This helps to avoid strain on the pump.

Check that eccentric reducers, if used, are installed

with the flat side on top.

This eliminates air pockets.

Check that a three-valve bypass has been installed

between the suction and discharge connections.

This is a recommended field option.

Check that the piping to which optional vibration

eliminators are connected is properly anchored to the

floor.

This is necessary for maximum effectiveness.

Fastening

WARNING:
• Only use fasteners of the proper size and material.
• Replace all corroded fasteners.
