Never use pipe smaller than the horizontal plane directly at the pump suction (Fig. 7). pump discharge and suction sizes, and preferably larger Between the elbow and the pump suction use a straight especially on the suction (one or two sizes larger).
When an ejector is used for priming it must be mounted six months of operation and the lubrication record re- at the highest point in the impeller housing to ensure re- view at that time. Each pump installation is unique and moval of all the air in the casing and suction pipe.
6. Allow packing to leak freely when starting up a newly packed pump. Excessive leakage during the first hour of operation will result in a better packing job over a longer period of time. Final adjustment should allow approximately 30 drops per minute to leak from the packing.
