Foundation requirements
Requirements
• The foundation must be able to absorb any type of vibration and form a permanent, rigid support for
the pump unit.
• The location and size of the foundation bolt holes must match those shown on the assembly drawing
provided with the pump data package.
• The foundation must weigh between two and three times the weight of the pump.
• Provide a flat, substantial concrete foundation in order to prevent strain and distortion when you
tighten the foundation bolts.
• Sleeve-type and J-type foundation bolts are most commonly used. Both designs allow movement for
the final bolt adjustment.
• The concrete foundation must have sufficient firmness according to DIN 1045 or equal standard.
