valve. See that pipe work connections match up accurately with pump
flanges. Refer to the pump manufacturer’s recommendations for the
specific pump inlet piping requirements. Typically these requirements are
that:
a. It be a straight run of pipe.
b. The straight run from the pump inlet to the first fitting, valve, or
flex connector be a minimum of 6-10 pipe diameters in length.
c. The pipe used should be the same size as the inlet of the pump.
3. The piping in the immediate vicinity of the pump must not be supported
by the pump. The pump is not designed to bear the weight of the piping,
and weight on any part of the pump will throw it out of alignment.
