e) Alignment
1. Proper alignment directly affects bearing, coupling, and seal life
expectancy. The pump is properly aligned before it leaves the factory.
Because the system expands in operation, pump must be realigned
when the system is at operating temperature.
2. The coupling alignment of the pump and driver must be carefully
checked for angular and axial alignment. Check pump manufacturers
instructions for these specifications. The use of a dial indicator to check
the axial and angular alignment is recommended.

Full pump design flow must be maintained at all
times thru the main piping loop. Low flow will
seriously damage heater.
