install:
• anti-vibration joints on the suction and discharge sides of the unit
• dampers between the unit and the surface on which it is installed.
• As short and as straight as possible
• For the section connected to the unit, straight and without bottlenecks, covering a
length equal to at least six times the diameter of the suction port
• Wider than the suction port; if necessary, install an eccentric reducer that is horizontal on
top
• Without bends; if this cannot be avoided, bends of a radius as wide as possible
• Without traps and 'goosenecks'
• With on-off valves with a low specific flow resistance.

operating pressure of the pump unit.
• An on-off valve on the suction side
• An on-off valve on the discharge side, downstream the check valve and pressure gauge,
also useful for regulating the flow rate.

• A foot check valve that guarantees full opening (full section)
• A filling on-off valve to facilitate the removal of the air and priming.
