2.19 Pipework Connections:
 Isolating valves: Always install isolating valves (not supplied) to
both suction and delivery pipe to aid future maintenance.
 Pipework: Ensure pipework to and from the pump is independently
supported to prevent forces being transferred to the inlet and outlet
branches of the pump.
a) This pump must be installed in accordance with the Water Supply (Water
Fittings) Regulations.
Incoming mains pressure can vary, but must never exceed 6 bar. If there is
a possibility of exceeding 6 bar, separate inlet pressure control must be fitted.
b) It is advisable to fit a bypass pipe and isolating valves. This will allow removal
of the pump for maintenance and servicing, and ensure the water supply into
the property is still available during that period (Fig. 3).
