INSTALLATION − SECTION B
Review all Safety information in Section A.
Since pump installations are seldom identical, this
section offers only general recommendations and
practices required to inspect, position, and ar-
range the pump and piping.
Most of the information pertains to a standard
static lift application where the pump is positioned
above the free level of liquid to be pumped.
If installed in a flooded suction application where
the liquid is supplied to the pump under pressure,
some of the information such as mounting, line
configuration, and priming must be tailored to the
specific application. Since the pressure supplied
to the pump is critical to performance and safety,
be sure to limit the incoming pressure to 50% of the
maximum permissible operating pressure as
shown on the pump performance curve. (See Sec-
tion E, Page 1.) If the pump is fitted with a Gorman-
Rupp double grease lubricated seal, the maximum
incoming pressure must be reduced to 10 p.s.i.
For further assistance, contact your Gorman-Rupp
distributor or the Gorman-Rupp Company.
