J Line Pump
Horizontal Double Suction Centrifugal Pump – API 610 Process Pump
28 V1.032818
In horizontal suction lines, reducers should be eccentric (with the flat side of the
reducer on top).
No obstruction within at least five pipe diameters of the suction flange should be
fitted.
Do not install unsupported piping on the pump.
Make sure electrical connections do not impose any stress on the pump unit.
Remember that the pump must not be moved once the baseplate has been set:
the piping (both suction and discharge) is the one aligned to the pump.
When aligning, all the elements to be aligned (including the pipes) should be at
the same temperature (ambient).
It is important to confirm that the pump can be moved out from the baseplate
without cutting or welding (only by adjusting connections and flanges).
Do not use drifts or cheater bars to force alignment of bolt holes – serious damage
to the pump will result.
