Use of washers for oval bolt holes
Arrows on the pump housing show the direction of
flow of liquid through the pump.
Pumps with motors smaller than 11 kW can be
installed in horizontal or vertical pipes.
Pumps with motors of 11 kW and up may only be
installed in horizontal pipes with the motor in vertical
position.
However, some TP, TPE pumps of 11 kW and up may
be suspended directly in the pipes (horizontally or
vertically). See the section TP, TPE pumps from 11
kW and up suspended in the pipes.
In installations where the pump is suspended directly
in the pipes, the pump can support the pipe length L
on both sides of the pump (L less than 3 x DN), see
the figure below. In installations where the pump is
suspended directly in the pipes, the pump must be
lifted and held in correct position by means of ropes
or similar until both pump flanges are completely
fastened to the pipe flanges.
