Berkeley S.A.E. - Discharge Connection - Not Recommended; Avoid Undersized Discharge Piping; Proper Pipe Support and Alignment; Minimize Friction Loss in Discharge

• Avoid excess friction loss caused by numerous fittings,
insufficient pipe diameter, and sharp turns in pipe run.
• Some swing type check valves may permit buildup of
reverse velocity before closing, causing hydraulic shock
(water hammer).
• Do not force pipe alignment that can cause flange stress.
