SUCTION LIMITATIONS
1. Units are non self-priming. Normally after being 
primed the total suction lift of the pump is 15 feet.
2. Where liquids at or near their boiling points are
being handled, the supply must be located above 
the suction, so that the available NPSH will be 
greater than that required by the unit.
PIPING
1. Do not use the pump as support to the piping. The 
pipe must be independently supported near the 
pump so that no strains will be transmitted to the 
unit. Failure to do so will cause premature pump 
failure and will void the warranty.
2. Suction and discharge sizes are selected for proper
performance of the pumping unit and are not 
intended to determine the suction and discharge 
pipe sizes. Pipe sizes must be determined by the 
user based on the system requirements.
3. Install both a union and a gate valve (not furnished)
on the suction and discharge side of the pump for 
service convenience.
CAUTION: Do not use a globe or other restricting
type of valve at the discharge. Globe valves seriously
restrict the capacity of the pump.
4.
All joints and connections should have pipe sealing 
compound (male threads only) applied and drawn 
up tightly.
CAUTION: The entire system must be air and water
tight for efficient operation.
SUCTION PIPING
1. Suction piping should be short in length, as direct 
as possible, and never smaller in diameter than the 
pump suction opening.
2. Use galvanized piping, rigid plastic or other suitable
pipe that will not collapse under suction.
3. The suction pipe should slope upward to the pump
inlet. A horizontal suction line must have a gradual 
rise to the pump. Any high point in the pipe will 
become filled with air and thus prevent proper 
operation of the pump. When reducing the piping 
to the suction opening diameter use an eccentric 
reducer with the eccentric side down to avoid air 
pockets. Never use a straight taper reducer in a 
horizontal suction line, as it tends to form an air 
pocket in the top of the reducer and the pipe.
Valves in Suction Piping
1. If the pump is operating under static suction lift 
conditions, a foot valve may be installed in the 
suction line to avoid the necessity of priming each 
time the pump is started.
