SITE / FOUNDATION
A pump should be located near the supply of liquid and
have adequate space for operation, maintenance, and
inspection.
Baseplate mounted pumps are normally grouted on a
concrete foundation, which has been poured on a solid
footing. The foundation must be able to absorb any
vibration and to form a permanent, rigid support for the
pumping unit.
The location and size of the foundation bolts are shown on
the outline assembly drawing, provided with the pump data
package.
Foundation bolts commonly used are sleeve type (Fig. 5)
and J Type (Fig. 6). Both designs permit movement for
final bolt adjustment.
