The default direction of flow is from the horizontal port (in the front
of the cover) to the vertical port, with the drive shaft running
clockwise as viewed facing the cover of the pump. See view A in
Figure 8.
To change the direction of flow, run the drive shaft in the opposite

CAUTION
These pumps are positive displacement design and will be
severely damaged if operated with closed valves in discharge or
inlet lines. The pump warranty is not valid for damages caused by
a hydraulic overload from operation or start-up with a closed
valve in the system.
Piping Support
To minimize forces exerted on the pump, support all piping to the
pump independently with hangers or pedestals. Such forces can
cause misalignment of the pump parts and lead to excessive
wear of screws, bearings, and shafts.
Figure 9 shows typical supporting methods used to independently
support each pipe, reducing the weight effect of piping and fluid
on the pump.
WARNING
Do not exceed 50 lb (22.7 kg) load on the pump inlet or discharge
ports. Exceeding this limit may cause damage to the pump
Expansion Joints
Thermal expansion of piping can cause tremendous forces. Use
thermal expansion joints to minimize these forces on the pump.
Flexible joints can be used to limit transmission of mechanical
vibration. Ensure that the free ends of any flexible connections in
the system are anchored.
