Foundation Specications
A concrete foundation is recommended for
all MSD pump installations. Concrete provides
good support and good vibration absorption.
The foundation should have a mass that is
50% more than the total weight of the equip-
ment and its perimeter should extend at least
6 inches (15 cm) on each side from the pump
and motor. Make sure the concrete is com-
pletely dry and level before installing any ma-
chinery. Make sure anchor bolts and shims are
properly sized and installed in cases of uneven
surfaces.
