6. Check the mounting flange gasket to ensure it is in the correct position. Some pumps may be supplied
with O-rings in lieu of a gasket.
7. Slowly lower the pump onto the mounting flange.
8. Install the mounting bolts or nuts. Do not tighten at this stage.

9. Connect the system piping to the pump, if required, shift the pump slightly on the mounting flange to
facilitate alignment.
NOTICE
• Type VC discharge heads have both suction and discharge flanges. Therefore, it is
important to make sure that the suction piping is connected to the suction side of the
pump.
• A flow arrow is located on the side of the suction pipe to help identify the correct
orientation.
• Figure 5-2 on page 23 is provided to enable field identification in case the flow arrow is
not visible.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Excessive nozzle loads must not be imposed on the pump. All piping must be carefully
aligned and supported to prevent excessive nozzle loads.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
It is strongly recommended that flexible connectors (dresser couplings or equivalent) be
installed in the piping immediately adjacent to the pump.
