If the pump is used in an open circuit,
then the diameter of the suction pipe is
suited to the installation conditions. The
suction pipe must not be smaller than the
diameter of the suction port.
If the suction piping must be larger than
the suction side of the pump, then an
eccentric pipe reducer is installed.
If the pump is placed above liquid level, a
foot valve is installed at the end of the
suction piping.
The foot valve is fully immersed into the
liquid so that air cannot enter through the
suction vortex, when the liquid is at the
minimum level and the pump is installed
above the liquid source.
Appropriately sized on-off valves are
installed on the suction piping and on the
delivery piping (downstream to the check
valve)
for
capacity, for pump inspection, and for
maintenance.
Appropriately
installed
on
(downstream to the check valve) for
regulation of the pump capacity, for
pump inspection, and for maintenance.
In order to prevent back flow into the
pump when pump is turned off a check
valve is installed on the delivery piping.
WARNING:
Do not use the on-off valve on the
discharge side in the closed position in
order to throttle the pump for more
than a few seconds. If the pump must
operate with the discharge side closed
for more than a few seconds, a
bypass circuit must be installed to
prevent overheating of the liquid inside
the pump.
For illustrations that show the piping requirements,
see Figure 10 on page 95 and Figure 11 on page 95.

Electrical requirements
The local regulations in force overrule
these specified requirements.
Electrical connection checklist
Check that the following requirements are met:
The electrical leads are protected from
high
temperature,
collisions.
The power supply line is provided with:
- A short circuit protection device
- A mains isolator switch with a contact gap of
at least 3 mm
The electrical control panel checklist
NOTICE:
The control panel must match the ratings of the
electric pump. Improper combinations could fail to
guarantee the protection of the motor.

The control panel must protect the motor
against overload and short circuit.
Install the correct overload protection

The control panel must be equipped with
a dryrunning protection system to which
is
a pressure switch, float switch, probes, or
other suitable device is connected.
The following devices are recommended
for use on the suction side of the pump:
- When the liquid is pumped from a water
system, use a pressure switch.
- When the liquid is pumped from a storage
tank or reservoir, use a float switch or probes.
When thermal relays are used, relays
that are sensitive to phase failure are
recommended.
