Grout the baseplate
Required equipment:
• Cleaners: Do not use an oil-based cleaner because the grout will not bond to it. See the instructions
provided by the grout manufacturer.
• Grout: Non-shrink grout is recommended.
1. Clean all the areas of the baseplate that will come into contact with the grout.
2. Build a dam around the foundation.
3. Thoroughly wet the foundation that will come into contact with the grout.
4. Pour grout through the grout hole into the baseplate up to the level of the dam.
When you pour the grout, remove air bubbles from it by using one of these methods:
• Puddle with a vibrator.
• Pump the grout into place.
5. Allow the grout to set.

Bypass-piping considerations
When to use a bypass line
Provide a bypass line for systems that require operation at reduced flows for prolonged periods. Connect a
bypass line from the discharge side (before any valves) to the source of suction.
