Use prescribed pipe sizes as mentioned on the product nameplate
Locate the pump centre line as close as possible to the water surface. Ensure the strainer
is fixed to the end of suction pipe located inside the sump / well. Refer Fig. 7, shown below,
for recommendations:
Use as few pipe fittings as possible in the suction line. Prefer using a bend in place of elbow
Use a good quality strainer to reduce suction losses
During priming, check the pump suction pipe for leakages
In case the pump is used to draw water from a water line, follow the recommended suction pipe
orientation shown in Fig. 8 below.
