INSTALLATION

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 posi­
tioned 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.

For further assistance, contact your Gorman‐Rupp
distributor or the Gorman‐Rupp Company.
