• Recommendations called out in field of drawing apply to
both suction connections shown.
• Use pipe, tubing or reinforced hose to make suction con-
nection. Hose must have sufficient strength to resist col-
lapse under pressure differential that occurs while pump is
running.
• Suction pipe size should be at least one commercial pipe
size larger that opening in pump inlet. Flow velocity should
not exceed 8 ft./sec.
• Suction screen area must be at least four times suction pipe
area.
• Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) must exceed
Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR) by the pump
or reduced performance and severe pump damage may
result.
• All suction piping must have a continuous rise to the pump
suction inlet. For rigid pipe or tubing, a 1/4 inch per foot
minimum slope is recommended.
