5.1 Booster modules connected in series and in
parallel
For modules connected in series, mounted above each other,
we recommend to connect the pipes as shown in fig. 6.
For modules connected in parallel, mounted above each other,
we recommend to connect the pipes as shown in fig. 7. This
layout ensures that the modules are filled with water before
starting.
For modules connected in series and parallel, mounted above
each other, we recommend to connect the pipes as shown in
fig. 8.
For modules connected in series and fitted with a bypass,
mounted above each other, we recommend to connect the
pipes as shown in fig. 9.

As venting problems may arise in such installations,
Note
it is advisable to install suitable vent devices.

6. Pipe connection

The booster modules are fitted with clamp liners for Victaulic/PJE
clamp couplings on the suction and discharge sides. See fig. 10.
