3.4 Mechanical installation
Install the pump so that it is not stressed by the pipes. For
maximum permissible forces and moments from pipe connections

You can suspend the pump directly in the pipes, provided that the
pipes support the pump.
Twin-head pumps are prepared for installation on a mounting
bracket or base plate.
