Free-Standing Submerged Installation On Ring Stand - Grundfos SL1 Series Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

7.2 Free-standing submerged installation
on ring stand
Fig. 5 Free-standing submerged installation on
ring stand
Pumps for free-standing submerged installation
cannot stand freely on the bottom of the tank. The
pump must be installed on a ring stand. See fig. 5.
The ring stand is available as an accessory.
In order to facilitate service on the pump, fit a flexible
union or coupling to the elbow on the outlet port for
easy separation.
If a hose is used, make sure that the hose does not
buckle and that the inside diameter of the hose
matches that of the pump outlet port.
If a rigid pipe is used, fit the union or coupling, non-
return valve and isolating valve in the order
mentioned, when viewed from the pump.
If the pump is installed in muddy conditions or on
uneven ground, support the pump on bricks or a
similar support.
