Introduction

Recommended Floating Suction Installation

Figure 2 is an example of a floating suction installation. The floating suction arm can be mounted to pump previous
to installing in tank.
NOTICE
Veeder-Root supplies adapter only, not the apparatus.
Figure 3 is an enlarged view within the circle in Figure 2.
Easy service access is provided by unbolting manhole lid through which pump is mounted and removing entire
assembly. Use proper thread sealant and insert gasket between flanges of floating suction and pump. This
prevents hindrance to pump performance when product level is below this point.
NOTICE
The Red Jacket is a centrifugal type pump and is not designed to pump product when the lev-
el is below the bottom end of the UMP.
Manhole:
should be larger than manhole
welded on tank, keep area open
down to tank.
