and vibration free support. It should be located where the
unit is readily accessible for service and maintenance. The
pump should be protected against flooding and excessive

Piping: Both suction and discharge piping should be
independently supported at a point near the pump to avoid
strains being placed on the pump. Start all piping at pump to
avoid strains left by a gap at last connection. It is advisable
to increase the size of both suction and discharge piping at
the pump if any appreciable run of pipe is required. Never
use a smaller suction pipe than the suction connection on
the pump.
